There is an other consideration. If you leave the tanks half full the fuel will slosh around in a bad storm and mix any junk on the bottom of the tank into the fuel, which could make moving the boat after the storm interesting. Full tanks don't slosh. Of course you can compensate for the lighter weight of the half full tanks with the weight of all the fuel filters you are likely to need after the storm.
