Why jump into a "big" boat, if your a newbie, it is much larger
investment,
much larger costs etc etc. What if you decide you do not like boating
after
a year?

I own a 14' boat, which happens to be perfect for my needs. It's extremely
seaworthy for its size. But, a 14-16' boat is in NO way an accurate
indication of what it'll be like to operate, maintain and enjoy a slightly
larger boat, perhaps in the 19-25' range.


At this point it is an experiment, you are only assuming you are
going to enjoy going out on the water with family and friends.

Smaller boats tend to be less than comfortable. And, he won't have room for
MUCH family & friends.


Especially should your
boating waters be dangerous, it only adds more risks.

What??? The only way this is true is if you're saying that you risk less
financial loss if a small boat sinks, compared with a larger one. Other than
that, the statement makes absolutely no sense.
