Last year was my first as a boat owner (16' Carolina Skiff) and it was great. learned a lot. I never took a class but my best friend is a Capt and he has showed me ton and let me go through some scenarios on his boat prior to my purchase. I can't wait for the upcoming season because i learned so much last year but you can never learn enough. Never skimp on the safety just to get out faster it will cost you in the long run. I agree with other posts here about getting on charters and other peoples boats before you purchase. And get it surveyed! Good luck!
