Hello from Nevada! I need some experience.

Hi All,

I have been lurking here for a while. I retired in 2012 and my wife will be working about 4 more years while our last child finishes school. We know we want a boat but thats about it. We have extensive on the water experience in fishing boats at our cabin in Southeast Alaska. We reside in Northern Nevada. I am looking for the best way to gain experience. Is there a suggested method for getting on a boat that is being ferried from one west coast place to another? Is this an odd request?

I am a young a young(48) healthy paramedic and would cover all of my own expenses. Most importantly, I understand boats don't just travel through the water without a lot of work going on in the background. I am not looking to join a family vacation but rather join the owner moving his or her boat from one place to another and participate in all of the chores associated with the move. I have a good knowledge of electrical and mechanical systems but admittedly not trawler specific.

Thanks for the wealth of knowledge previously posted on the site.

Mike
