Enjoying the water and having small children...
 

I guess they must of had great foresight to be calling these boats the
pick-up trucks of the waters back in the 19th century! When was the
Model T produced? Just kidding...

Have you thought about a guideboat? Adirondack guideboats are much like
wide canoes but are rowed. In the late 19th C and early 20th C in the
Adirondacks they were considered to be the pickup trucks of the waters.
Just google on the term, and you'll come up with lots of hits.
