Also, I'd recommend going through a Captain's course - SeaSchool teaches in your area. Frm-Home page
Good luck, and please post pics as you narrow your seach.

Earl, yes, that first link is to Southwest Florida Yachts, who I mentioned in my first post; they do have a good reputation, we know some happy customers.
My wife and a friend of hers took a course from SeaSense down there. Highest recommendation! In fact they used one of the Grand Banks we chartered from Jung.
