I whole heartly agree to get and keep the kids involved as boating is a family thing.. I've had a boat since 12 and now its 65 years later and still enjoy it, especially now with 6 grandkids,, All are fun when they come on board and are always a great help. One word of caution however.. I never allow anyone on the swim platform when underway, even when docking. To risky... Can hand off line to dock hands from cockpit and agree going on the bow should be reserved for older children/adults... Safety first. Remember life jackets are required for kids at all times under 12 (at least in NY).. M2C
