"Honey, Let's Buy a Boat" is a good one but there are many similar books on cruising. Amazon.com is a good place to start. Magazines such as "Passagemaker" (recommended above) are good as well.

YouTube does have a lot of cruising videos but they are done by amateurs and many are pretty boring. Still they are free and some will be helpful.

I would concentrate more on the cruising books until you actually get that boat. "Fixit" books can wait until you have a boat to fix.

I would also caution against the idea of buying a boat and beginning your cruising life the next day. Take a few months or more just doing short trips and getting used to the boating life.
