Do you live in NORCAL or SOCAL? If it's gonna freeze where you're at it's highly recommended...be a shame if your new boat's engine with 30 hrs on it froze and cracked....We live in SW FL and don't have to worry about this but if it did freeze or stay cold for an extended period here I'd be doing it.

Technically you don't have winter there. ;-)
But if you're going to park it for an extended period of time you might want to put in the fuel stabilizer, use battery tender, etc.
BTW not sure if I would trust that video. The guy doesn't even know how to pronounce sta-bil.

So if I use the boat through the winter for the fishing season etc do I still need to use sta-bil or do anything else etc?

Just regular maintenance I would expect. If you're using ethanol gasoline you should be using a fuel additive regularly as the user manual recommends.
There are various opinions about this but the manual recommends Yamalube ring free.
