What is it about them that has everyone so happy when they have one, and like your case, so regretful when they sell them? I have two little daughters, three and one, and I'm a little nervous that this might not be the best boat for a small family for putting around to short beach and possibly Fire Island. What do you think?

Sounds like ahelluva deal to me...assuming as mentioned above the hull is solid, deoxidizing the gel coat and some TLC will have her back in shape in no time...
I raised my two daughters on regular boating and it's made water puppies of them both at 19 & 21...the first rule w/kids is proper flotation devices at all times when around water...boat doesn't move till everybody's wearin' one...no exceptions...keep an eye on them...if you are driving the boat looking forward as you should, mom needs to be watchin' the kids at all times...and vice/versa...
If this is your first boat and exposure to boating, for your kids' safety sake, take a boating course...
Good luck and post us up some pics when you can...we like the good, the bad AND the ooglie
