At least you will have isolated the problem of being with the engine or the fuel tank, lines, filter housing, etc. IIf you put a new engine on the boat you'll probably want to put a new tank in it anyway so you don't run a big slug of water through it. Water in the fuel is not covered by any engine warranties that I'm aware of.
