: Mr.Bucket's family has 4 members. 3 year old, 9 year old, mom and of course
: Mr. Bucket. Which choice do you like better. Mr.Bucket thinks about
: building these boats: Chesapeake 14 - for the 9 year old 85pound baby
: Chesapeake 17 - for the wife or Mr.Bucket
: Chesapeake Triple - for the 3 year old and 1 or 2 parents

: Another choice is: Pygmy Osprey 13 - for the 9 year old athlete
: Pygmy Arctic Tern - for the wife or the hubby
: Osprey Triple - for the parents and the 3 year old baby

My Guess would be: Build either the Chessy 17 or the Tern, which ever you like best. That will give you all time to play, paddle watch and learn and by the time you get ready for another boat, I'm sure you will need NO help making that decision. You may find some who don't agree with either of these choices at the moment, or may not then. Go for what You and/or the Wife will be able to use NOW and maybe the 9/10 year old as well, buy the time it's done. The 3 year old isn't going to be a decision maker for a while yet. Might as well go for what strikes YOUR fancy. Then progress from there. You may find a little change in the air for yourself in that time as well. ???? For what it's worth.
