Default Memory of size sure changes from when you a kid to an adult.

morning all,
Thanks saskpikeman,for the helpful response.
I figure I needed to look into what size I really need in a boat,so I took the kids to the farm to sit in the old fiberglass boat we used as a base, point. From my memories of it,I figured 14 ft or even 16 ft.
So I measured it, and it was a huge 12 feet 4 inches>LOL.
I guess things in your memory are a lot bigger from when you were small.
Well, after that,I figure an 18 footer would be about perfect. We have three kids, and my wife is nervous on the water, so that size should be stable enough.
I am looking at Alumarine, a Lund Alaskan if I can find a plain one that's a few years old (all the new ones are fancy). I also came across the Duckworth brand to investigate.
I will keep searching, as 18 ft boats are much more than 20 ft (And I now think 20 ft is too big).
Thanks' for reading my thoughts, it all helps come up with the proper choice.
Ken
