[QUOTE="Bass n flats, post: 290690, member: 10187"] I currently have a 17ft. With the age of your kids you will probably not be doing too much hardcore fishing with everyone in the boat. I have had 3 adults and 1 (4 year old) out on mine and it did great. There is also plenty of room for 2-3 adults who are fishing heavy (equipment, coolers, etc). There's not many times you hear "man I wish I had a smaller boat". Get the largest you can afford that fits you and your family's needs. My next one will be a 20-22ft express, got another baby on the way and the whole family loves to fish fresh and saltwater, so I'll have to move up. I would say atleast a 16' and if you can find one with an open floor plan they work great with small kids. That way if they give up on the fishing for the day they have a little bit of room and are not confined to a bench seat. Also I would highly recommend one of these to keep on the boat while the kids/family is out with you. It saves a lot of trips back and forth to the shore and I've even had adults use them as well.
