Boating in a small speedboat is not, from my observations, much fun for kids under 5. We have a 38 foot sailboat - on there the kids could run around and play when they were small.
It sounds like you have got a handle on your finances. Each 2 say weekend camping would cost at high end 80 for the site and 30 for fuel (8MPG at $3/gal) for $110 per weekend.
If your diesel mechanic is like my son in law diesel mechanic he'll have no problem doing repairs and maintenance on a trailer. That save a lot of money. He likely has experience towing as well.
It is critical to know the weights of your SUV so you know what tongue weight you can handle. You must weight your SUV loaded to get this info.
A smaller bunkhouse unit should fit your needs quite well. With the bunkhouse you have storage at the back so you can avoid having an extremely heavy tongue as some other layouts tend to have.
My nephew has 3 kids under 5. They tried camping with a tent trailer. That is now gone and they have a travel trailer. It makes it much easier to get ready to go, to set up and knock down and provides enough space even if ti rains. They and their kids really like it.
If your finances work and your truck can handle it go for it.
You and your kids are only young once.
Enjoy - every minute.
