Good Evening,
My 4-6 year goal from now is to purchase a used, but well maintained 40'ish trawler and living aboard. Although I live in the mid-Atlantic US, my job allows me unlimited flexibility in where I choose to live and would like to keep the boat in the NE United States in the summer and snow bird down south for the winter.
Here's the rub. Aside from a handful of sailing trips I have absolutely zero boating experience. I know enough not to take this lightly and would greatly appreciate any and all information you could provide leading me towards my goal. Books, online information, courses, points of contact, or suggestions on purchasing, maintaining, operating, etc ...trawlers are all welcome.
I realize my initial post is quite vague. I'm confident I will have many questions to follow.
Thanks in advance.
