| Sounds like you want a family boat to tube, cruise, etc in addition to fish. However, if you're a fisherman that casts a lot for muskies, bass, etc I would recommend against a full windshield. It just gets in the way too much. Always stepping around it, cuts off front from back, acts like a sail in windy conditions. A tiller is most wide open, but if you plan family activities you might opt for the side console. I know it can get stormy on any lake and in those conditions a full windshield is nice, but I found when its that rough my family isn't out in the elements anyway. Side console is a good compromise.
As soon as my family was grown and not tubing anymore, I was stuck with an expensive Ranger 18 foot windshield boat that always felt cumbersome. Just not the best platform for the fishing/casting that I do. A tiller or side console is next for me...
