Theres part of your answer there, do friends have boats?, have you been out
on them ? have your kids gone tubing with friends?. Some experience with
others on their boats will help you decide immensly.

Even better just hang out with others on their boats for a season :-)
Its cheaper !

Most of my friends are fellow airplane owners and look at my really
funny when I saw I'm looking at buying a little boat. They can't
understand why I would want something like a boat. My boys and I love
the water. I'm also a BSA lifeguard so I volunter to help assist with
water events for local troops.
