    Hello. I'm new to the forum. Is there anyone on the west coast of Florida or Alabama/Florida panhandle that gives lessons on their 42'-52' motor boat. Husband is a seasoned boater with USCG Captains License but hasn't handled a larger boat. Lessons before purchasing seem like a good option. I looked online but most I found in St. Petersburg were for sailboat lessons.

    We had a 24' Chris Craft Cabin Cruiser in the 90's but since then have been lakers with ski boats and tritoon boats. He thinks his comfort level is under 40' but I'd love for him to have lessons handling a larger boat before we purchase a boat that we will spend weeks at a time on.

    Thank you for your input.
