Cptken has some good advice for you... in the meantime if you're near an active lake try to hook up with someone needing crew (casual weekend racing, for example) - you'll learn a lot at little or no expense, and perhaps get some exposure to a variety of boats so you an refine your own goals.

Re chartering, without doing any reasearch, I'd guess your looking at between $2K and $4k/week depending on area and boat, perhaps more in some cases. It should be easy to google up some rates.
