start out by renting a boat to figure out what you like about boats. Rent different types until you have a list of features that makes sense for your boating needs. It will save you a lot of money in reselling and commissons.

Bob is right, if rentals are available in your area. You don't say how old your daughters are. Kids reach an age when they want to spend more of their weekend time with their friends and a bit less with their parents. I've seen a lot of unhappy children trapped and bored for the weekend on and around small boats with Mom and/or Dad. You want to get their input and think about it. Good luck.
