Well, we took the plunge, so to speak, and bought an '05 Four Winns Horizon 200 (I was like a kid in a candy store.)

So, I wanted to take a minute and thank you all for the very helpful comments. I think that after reading all the suggestions and taking the advice of nearly all, we confirmed our initial thoughts.

To answer some specific questions/comments, we went with the VolvoPenta 5.0L fuel injected engine for both the added power for pulling the dad as well as resale (although at this point, I could never part with it!)

Bought the boat from Winnisquam Marine and can echo, and I mean ECHO, the sentiment that they are superb folks to deal with and have every expectation that they will be with me for the long haul.

New England boat show was a very good way to also confirm my opinions. Recommend it for anyone looking to get into a new boat.

Thanks again!
