I would go with the trailer. You can use that all year long.

I have a tent trailer, and a 16ft fishing boat w/ a 60HP 4stroke merc. I can pull the kids on a knee board. It has a bow mount trolling motor, live well, full canvas So mostly the boat is used for fishing. I am about to list it in the classifieds as we just aren't into the boat scene. I bought it and was gung-ho, but the kids are into different things, so Life changes keep that in mind as well.
We have enjoyed both, but for different things. We have also packed all the gear on the boat and camped on Roosevelt as well.

Buy a toy hauler trailer then you can put a 14' aluminum boat and trailer inside it! 2 birds 1 stone.

We have a 31 foot 5th wheel. We upgraded from a 22 foot trailer. If i had my choice i would buy a boat. I would be able to use a boat year round. I can use the 5th wheel year round but i would rather have a boat. Wife prefers the 5th wheel. Guess what we have.
I want a boat. But wife says if i had a boat i would never be home. She is right, i would probably be guiding on the weekend.

So, just to clarify, did you say you want a boat?   :chuckle:

BOAT! As mentioned a trailer if just a place to sleep. Personally i have a boat and a small truck camper. It does the trick pretty well and you can pick up a camper on cl pretty cheap if you shop around a bit and arent really picky.  :twocents:
