The quickest way would be to buy some elite engineers or fighters, sell them at level 12 for 15mil (you will probably get that) but you'll prob need 4 or 5 mininum to get enough to buy 1 lvl 100 + sailor.
The cheaper but slightly longer way would be to level the elites up to around 60 and you can get over 50 mill each for them (Yes Kaisers prices are totally bonkers). 4 of those sold should get you plenty of credits to get 2 crew (perhaps in the 100s rather than 105 but would be a lot closer than you are now.
The 3rd way is to level some from new but this will take much longer. As for what to buy you'll probably find a cheap restorer or 2 but these are realy wasted slots. Hopefully you have 8 pilots? A CV6 shoul dhave 8 pilots on board.
Good luck and you are not the first or the last to do this.
