Yes, they can and do a lot of times. Manufacturers can absolutely step in and do warranty work in a dealers territory if they see fit. I've seen...
Yes, I run a 2006 48' Formula with shafts and it's a pig. Weight is too far aft and you have to run full tabs to stay on plane.
How are you hauling the boat? I managed a 63' Ocean SF that was a 1987, owner owned it since 1988, the first couple of times the owner hauled it...
