A couple of thoughts. A low gunnel is really a problem when the top of the gunnel is below the knee. To me, this is more problematic for seniors or guests that are not use to boats.
Second, I think you should take the nature of your kids into consideration. If they tend to be mindful and watching them isn't a big problem then it may be OK. If they are high energy, and tend not to listen, then its more of a red flag.
Been fishing a low gunnel boat for about five years now and to me its just easier to fish.
I do know of one guy with a boat that has low gunnels, takes clients out etc., and IMO goes out in weather he shouldn't. He has had clients go over.
Privateer makes a nice boat.
