Want to move from Scotland to Florida - Help!!!

We are now coming to the end of the wakeboarding season here in Scotland and it sucks. Even the Summer weather sucks for boarding here, 3mm wetsuit required at all times for the cold water.

My wife and i really enjoy the wakeboarding scene but would like to move to a warmer country as we love the outdoors more. We are thinking either Perth - Oz or Florida. There seems to be more fresh water riding in Florida which would appeal more to me.

Can anyone give advice on the best place to start looking, would love to live on a lake so boat could be on the water and ready to go at any time. My other problem is finding a job, I work in an Oil Refinery as a Mechanical Supervisor & would be looking to work with rotating machinery - Is there anywhere local to Orlando with this kind of Job????
