Maybe your wife should ride in one before she starts saying that they aren't family friendly boats. But we don't bring Cheetos.

Agreed, We have been taking our son on our boat and my Dad's 30 outlaw since he was 3 weeks old. It would be advised before coming on a forum full of "showoffs" and posting this to perhaps try being on an offshore boat.

I think the point was not really the off shore boats as much as the flat bottom v-drive boats, jet boat or 100 mph boats where sitting down you can reach out your hand and touch the water. My 19 foot 192 wellcraft has high free boat and is a lot safer than some of the go-fast that are really low to the water.

The point is not that the bigger boat are not family friendly is more about getting more boat than you can afford and letting it sit and not being able to use it.

The other part about a family friendly boat is like 100mph tunnel that sit low to the water .

To the family boat that has a high free board.
