[QUOTE="MrSimon, post: 290883, member: 5461"] Stick with a 16 with the proper floor plan. 16s are MUCH more readily available in the used market, cost a lot less, require less motor, are lighter to tow etc etc etc For a family of four with two kids, I would recommend a medium sized front casting deck designed for one adult. A small rear deck designed for one adult. And a relatively large open section in the middle for the kids. Storage under the decks would be ideal. I also recommend a tiller model so the middle is as open as possible and the adult in the back has complete control of everything. Something like this would be perfect.
