X10; and probably older than MPM!

Think minimum 16 feet with plenty of free board for use on the Sound plus a reliable main motor and small kicker (or, gasp, oars). You do not want to be broken down and adrift with no way to reach the nearest beach. Kids might think it an adventure; wife not so much...
