I find marina gas to be more like 75 cents higher. When I had a lake place 5 miles from a gas station, I hauled 5 gallon cans. Now that I am 15 miles away, I don't bother, it takes too much time. I can't imagine hauling gas from GA, the cans would be one more darned thing to take back and forth. I want everything I need at the lake, to eliminate the hassle of packing. Also, I'm cheap, but the math on off water gas really doesn't work. Sure, four five gallon cans saves $15 bucks, (minus 2 or 3 for the trip to the gas station?) but how many times will you fill in a season? 20 times is only $300, which is nothing compared to the cost of the boat, lake house, etc.
Good advice here on storing your boat. And covering it will make the seats and carpet last longer. But don't get too uptight about getting it out of the water if you can't. It isn't fiberglass so unless you are in a rough area, I doubt leaving it in the water will harm a pontoon boat. My pontoon has never left the water in 9 years, and the only problems are seats and carpet.
