Wow. Thanks to all for the time each of you put into writing responses.

1 - Okay. I'm sold on the fuel injection. Also, I think re-sale might have a broader audience because there are certainly many folks who are certain that they DON'T want a carbeurator
2 - Great point about Paugus Bay and having to get through Weir Channel every time is we use Paugus Bay Marina or Channel Marine.
3 - Good to hear that I can purchase a boat from one dealer, but winterize/valet somewhere else on the lake (all without having to buy a trailer). For my needs, it seems that a trailer is a couple thousand dollars of wasted money, and then I have to also find someplace to store the trailer. In my first couple of years of boating, it's unlikely that I'll be towing and launching elsewhere. But I'm sure I'll need continued service/support from the dealer.
4 - I'll check out a few more marinas on the Southern half of the lake based on your comments. I have used the "search" feature for comments...candidly, my fear regarding Fays is that it seems easy to piss someone off there by doing the wrong thing....(and newbies do a lot of wrong things).
5 - I may end up ordering a boat, rather than getting one that's a bit cheaper, but "wrong" layout or "wrong" engine.

Thanks again for all on the board who have been helpful here.
