e85 in a daycruiser

I'm thinking about running e85 in my daycruiser, for no other reason than there are e85 pumps all around my house (Omaha, NE). I realize I'm not saving money. After a lot of research, pretty much the only thing I am concerned about is water contamination in the fuel in my aluminum tanks. How concerned do I need to be about this? I thought it was over-hyped until I came across this:

Although based on some of the comments from that video I'm not sure that is actually a real-world scenario.

My tanks are vented through the "flip up" fuel caps. Boat is stored in climate controlled garage (I could seal up the tanks if necessary during storage), and never left on the water when we're not using it.
So is it a bad idea to run it in a cruiser? I've not seen many posts about people running e85 in lake cruisers. 454 10:1 compression, 450 - 500 HP.

If I have to drain the carb etc after every outing, maybe it is not worth it.

Thanks
