As others have mentioned I would recommend Winnisquam marine, I boat my Four Winns from them was very pleased. Mine was a used boat. But regardless, they gave me no hassles when it came to issue happening during the warrantee period. And never skimped on the fixes. They have also been excellent in offering advice over the years as well, even though I no longer stow the boat or service it with them. the only downside is they aren't located on the big lake... so if you wanted to use them for service, you would have to haul the boat to them, or have them come and get it, which can be pricey.

As far as pontoon boats go, I the biggest difference I have seen over the various manufactures is the level of finish, pontoon size, and available options. Premier, Harris, and Bennington all build very nice boats... I have been on all three.

Last if I had to chose between Melvin Village and Channel, it would be Melvin Village... They do take care of their customers... and off the boat lines they carry. Even though they know my boat was purchased at Winnisquam, they have always treated me well... And my Uncle has purchased two boats from them, and always been treated excellent....
