I would not start it...just spray some MMO in the cylinders and turn it over by hand with no plugs in it, if you have a hand crank without 'pumping' all the antifreeze out, to move some oil around in it. I see you have a C-30..you will need to drill a hole in the seat to get to the flywheel pin to do this..you could also flip the starter a bit but that could move some of the antifreeze out of the raw water side if you crank too long. I would drain the muffler before starting next spring after this exercise just in case some antifreeze moved thru and filled the muffler up.
