[quote=smfinley]I think a getaway is a good choice for a family cruiser. The wave is likely to small for 3, even if one a toddler. I will vote for my old favorite a H18 magnum for your needs. The wings make it great for kids and adults. More complicated than a H16 but not like a modern spin boat. I recently moved to a 21 for the extra room, had my 18 for over 10 years.. I currently have two 4 year olds and a 5 year old. So I will take a total of 3 kids and 3 adults on the boat and the 18 was ok, but my 21SE is better for that on mild days. I always have everyone in life jackets and the crew knows they are assigned one kid each.
I think the 6.0 might be a bit much. I went for the 10' beam with wings to add stability to a performance oriented boat. Knowing how to depower is important too.[/quote]
