In theory no license at all is required for delivery work but in

I have a Georgia Drivers License, and past 4 courses with CG AUX,

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. :-)

If a licensed captain hires "Reggie" to crew, he'd also better hire
someone else to actually be the crew.

Way back in the stone age, when we lived in Jax, there was a fellow who
had retired as a port pilot who went into the boat delivery business. *He*
was qualified. I wouldn't trust "licensed captain" with a six pack ticket
to deliver an expensive boat.

Local Port Pilot hit the SF Bay bridge. So even licensed captains can be
idiots.

But not the ones Harry knows! He only associates with the best most
skilled harbor pilots available! Just ask him!
