Default Newbie question of filling the boat w/ gas

OK - this may sound like a really stupid question - but today was the second
time it has happened to me.
This is our first season w/ our boat - I tow it to the lake and fill it on
the way home at the local gas station.
I normally wait until it gets to about 1/4 tank before I fill it. I know
the tank is 40 gallons - so I usually put in about 30 gallon. The first
time I filled it - I had no idea how much gas was in there and the gas just
spewed over when it was filled - it was not like a car where the pump would
stop when its full. Anyways - yesterday - same thing happened again -
filling it up and whoosh - out comes the gas all over the side of the boat.
****ed me off b/c I just spent time cleaning and waxing it.
Anyways - maybe im just an idiot - but how does one fill the tank w/out
blowing gas all over when its full.

Thanks,
-R
