Which boat??

[upnorth]

Hi all,

I'm new to the lakes, to this forum and to boating. The info here is great and I thought I'd ask a question of my own. I want to buy a boat and I've narrowed my choices down (I think!) to two: Crownline 202BR and Four Winns Horizon 200. Any thoughts on these or local dealers? I read the posts about Crownline and there is nothing but good things to say; my issue with the 202BR is mostly seating style. (We are a family of 5 with 3 small kids -- my suspicion with the sport seating is that it will be hard for the kids to get in from and out to the swim platform when we go tubing). The Horizon got great reviews from a recent boating magazine, is a bit less expensive and the seating style works. What am I overlooking? Also, any thoughts on engine sizes and injected vs. carbureted. Thanks!
