Buy the boat you like that will meet your needs. Take into account draft and air draft as was mentioned. Take time and learn how to handle the boat. Maybe hire a captain if necessary. Learn in calm conditions at first and then expand your experience with somewhat less ideal conditions until you are confident in your abilities. Don't buy a lesser baot than you really want if you can afford it financially. You will not be happy in the long run if you do. Don't let people tell you that you can't do it, just take the time and learn how.
