New to Boating

Hi All.
My wife and I have loved coming to Winni and spending time on our friend’s boat over the years. We are getting closer to making our own purchase in the next year or so. I am looking for some advice.
We live in MA, south of Boston and do not own a place in NH. I am thinking our best bet would be to buy a used cruiser so we could spend the weekends up north and sleep on the boat (me, my wife, and 2 small children). We would like to hang at sand bar, tube, ski if possible with the kids.
Does anyone have advice on different boats, we like a lot of the Sea Ray 240 Sundancers out there.. Something big enough, but trailerable if necessary.
Also, we have not visited any of the marinas yet. Which marinas are recommended? We would like some place to rent a wet slip, with decent amenities, showers, bathrooms, etc.
Thanks!
