Take this with a grain of salt, because I am not going to sugarcoat it.
I don't know you from Adam, and it sounds like this is a first boat. (Nice one too.) Please, please don't be like most first time bozos who buy a boat and assume it is a cake walk. Get some training. Hire someone even. Or get the broker/seller to arrange it for you. Because most first timers can't back it down a ramp, can't dock it on a flat ass calm day (nevermind a windy day) can't pick up a mooring without running it over, from the upwind side, and just don't understand how to place a boat where it needs to be. Don't be that guy!!! There aren't any brakes! Safety for yourself, your family, and anyone onboard is your first priority. And you put others at risk when landing if you don't know what you are doing. Add in navigation. And then throw some wind, current, and waves into the mix. Then we can go into anchoring... Not blowing my own horn here, just want to give you a reality check. As John said, crawl, walk, run. It will make for a much better experience......
