Welcome to the forum and the Lake #1CandleLady. I'll echo the comments already here. Get a boat map/chart of the lake. The best route around markers is not always intuitive. Practice slow maeuvering. Try going to a quiet cove and tossing some kind of float overboard and maneuver to it and such.
I understand that Melvin Village Marina does a good job taking care of the boaters that they decide to do business with.
They didn't have a boat to sell me so I bought mine elsewhere. Then Melvin Village refused to do warranty work or even talk to me about my (then) new Four Winns so I can't vouch for them. I can vouch for Winnisquam Marine who came to my rescue and did what Four Winns dealers
should do - that is, provide warranty service without prejudice. I didn't buy my boat from them but Winnisquam Marine is high up on my list of good guys while Melvin Village Marina... well...
Again, welcome and enjoy your new boat and all the experiences that go with it.
Happy and safe boating
