[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 395956, member: 13599"] welcome aboard !! where you from ? In my world, a question of this nature has to take into consideration a few factors. How big are you, how big are the twins. The more WIDER you can go the more SAFER it will be for all. NO LESS than 36" across the bottom. 40-48" if you can find one. you said you have 3 year olds . . . kids in this age range aren't much help with the big stuff. A person in good health can muscle a 12' Jon alone from a truck, but, it can get tedious. and a lot of dragging. So a trailer, at this time, might be a good idea. oh, and my personal rule of boating: NEVER go farther from shore than you can swim. and with kids: NEVER go farther from shore than you can swim carrying one or two kids. but, that is just me. Edit: I have never been in a plastic boat. I know people go out in them all the time. I have never heard of anyone drowning from a capsized one. I am just biased by looks alone..... I just don't trust them. but, that is just me. [/QUOTE]
