have meet people who have a Coastal Master License, does that count?

It means that for most people hiring someone to deliver a boat, you are
qualified to crew for the USCG licensed Captain.

Although ... I've had past experience that indicates that a USCG license
doesn't necessarily mean the Captain is qualified.

Water under the bridge. But it still cost about $5k to get all the
fiberglass damage on the stern and bow fixed.

I knew about the stern. Didn't notice the damage to the bow until it was
hauled at the end of the season. ****ed me off. I was an amateur when I
took it to FL and I didn't put a scratch on it.
1000 ton licensed captain with all kinds of experience smashes into
everything apparently.

And then he has the balls to use me as a reference.

If I recall correctly he was used to running large, steel hulled crew
boats in the Gulf of Mexico. They handle a little differently and
take abuse well.

He looked like he knew horses though. :-)
