I have been reading through all the head options but just got back from an
extended trip so we may have missed a few recommendations.

We removed an "ancient" head at the end of the season and need to get going
on a replacement. We own a cruiser docked on Lake Michigan. We plan to do
some extended cruising in the great lakes this year.

Do you have a suggestion on non-manual replacement?

"Cruiser"--sail or power? What size? How many people typically aboard?
How long will you typically want to stay out without coming in for fuel,
water, ice, provisions, etc?

Currently, there is no
holding tank in the bilges so we'll need to add one(any suggestions as to
size -- we have plenty of bilge space)?

Can't answer that one till I know the answers to the above questions.

We also have pressurized fresh water
available in the head space.

How much fresh water do you carry?

We'll have someone install what we need and our
budget (not including installation costs) is $2k max.

I think you can come in under that, even including installation.
