That sounds good. Where can one find Captains willing to hire out for such a job? I assume this forum would be one such place. Thanks.

I'm a firm believer in learning from other people's mistakes. With the internet and a willingness to spend time researching, I feel I can make it happen. Thanks.

I think I fall in that category. Right now I'm just soaking up all I can.

I prefer closer to 30', regardless of price. Live aboard, full time. Only warm/hot climates. Anchor out.

I know I am coming off as very naive, but I really don't think so. Of course it will be a project boat. I don't have all the knowledge and experience but ya know what, I have built a house from the ground up, by myself. I cut trees off my property and sawed them into lumber on my bandsaw mill. I...

If we make a trip that say takes a day or two or more, there would be gas and motel charges that would far exceed say $100. Make sense? But most definitely I will have someone experienced I trust to go with me on every...

I am a total novice and would like to hire someone to make an initial look at a used trawler, not a survey, that's later. The We Go Look site says they will give it an inspection for about $100. Just wonder how legit they are. Thanks.
