So, I've decided to buy a boat. I primarily intend to use the boat for fishing/crabbing (sound, lower snoho, maybe some lakes), but I've got a wife and two small kiddos too, so they'll want to tag along and do some tubing and whatnot sometimes too.

I'm looking in the 14-16 feet range for now (I know that when the kids get bigger, we may need a bigger boat). However, since I am a relatively inexperienced boater, I thought I'd seek advice from the great minds of PP.

So, any comments on pros/cons of the following:

I realize they aren't exactly apples to apples.

Thanks for any advice!
