SHEP, that's great information I appreciate it. I'm stepping up from a Sea Ray Sundeck and my wife and I loved it, but now we're expecting our first child. We both enjoy the water, but realize that in order to stay on the water, we will need something w/ air/heat and place for the little one to rest. I liked this boat because we're not ready to step up to a cruiser and not sure that we need an express cruiser just yet.
