[MC1600]

I can’t speak to the specifics of the 3300. I suspect most of those conveniences you’ll figure out as you get used to her. As for boating with kids, though, my two pieces of advice are 1) always safety first, and 2) make sure they have a job.

Even at 2 years old, our daughter could hold a line or prop up a fender until we were ready. She wasn’t doing much but felt included. Now at 9, she regularly takes-up position on the swim platform ready to toss a line to a dockhand as we come in somewhere. I’ve even started trusting her with activities up on the bow. They want to feel a part of the action and I believe the more involved they are, the longer they’ll have an interest in the best family activity there is.
