Location: In a shack in the woods		It all depends on what size waters you are going to use it on. A 690 ranger would be great but you might run into problems on a small lake. Even with shallow water launch you still have to get it back on the trailer somehow. First you have to figure out what size boat you need. 16-17' is awesome for little lakes but if your going to be on big water a used 20' might be the right call. As a start I would recommend aluminum just because it's more forgiving to running on rockpiles and so on. You might want to upgrade to fiberglass in a couple years. More speed and better handling. If you are going to be walleye fishing or trolling you might want a tiller. I prefer tiller or single console because they take up less room. But for your family maybe a full windshield might be the ticket. It's nice to get out of the wind. My best advice Is to go to a boat show and climb in every boat there. You can even get bowmount trolling motors for pontoons. Your 2 year old could run wild and still have room to spare.
