Rich,
300 Sundancers were made with either I/O's or V-Drive inboards in the middle nineties. I was considering a 1996 with v-drives for around $50,000 because it would fit on my lift for now but could stay in the water after I sold the house. I decided to move up to a bigger boat instead and just put it in a marina near the gulf. With the price of gas and that Carver's thirst it doesn't take too many trips up and down the river getting to the gulf to pay for a slip near the gulf. You also may want to look at 310 or 330 Sundancers which are also inboards. I couldn't go any larger than a 11' beam on my lift.
You should have no problem finding the type of house you are looking for here. Jim is correct in stating there are some powerboat access locations that are still close to the river. I am near the Midpoint bridge just accross from Fort Myers but there is plenty of locations on the west side of Cape Coral where you can spend an hour each way AND have to go through a set of locks to get in and out. It all depends on how much time you have and how much boating you like to do. After ten years here I am still out nearly every weekend and loving every minute of it.
