I love Privateer boats, no nonsense, well built and only need a few inches to float. My kids have been playing on a 21ft privateer since the gunnels were shoulder high to them, I don't think 6 - 8" is going to make a huge difference, your either careful on a boat or your not, and if not, that's why kids have to wear life jackets.
