Sorry...just realized that you want kids standing upright. Not gonna happen
in my 1900. When I had a 25' SeaRay, they could have stood upright. If you
pull the center cushions in my 1900, they can stand in the bilge well, which
is always dry, except under extraordinary circumstances.

Hi.

I'm looking for suggestions for a smallish trailerable boat that would
be suitable for brief overnights with my wife and two young (5 & 6
year-old) children. We'll mostly be doing day trips (tubing/skiing and
some fishing), but would like to be able to do the occasional
close-to-home "camping". I don't see us doing more than one night on
the water very often, if at all. Realistically, the cabin will be used
mostly for the kids to nap & escape from rain, but we do want to be
able to spend the night now & then.

FWIW, a swim platform is almost a necessity.

We're a tight family, and can easily sleep in a king size bed together,
so cramped quarters aren't a big concern. Headroom needs to accomodate
the kids, but Mommy & Daddy only really need use it horizontally.


We'll be launching on the Magothy River (a few minutes from the
Chesapeake Bay), about a mile from home, so don't expect to spend much
time dragging the boat behind my truck, but it does need to be on a
trailer when not in use.

Thanks in advance.


P.S. What's the difference between a 'cuddy cabin' and a 'cabin cruiser'?
