Thanks!

Hello, My fiance and I will be heading to Florida for a honeymoon sometime in September Mid-Late. We will be staying in Lauderdale-by-the-sea, FL for around 2 weeks during that time. We would like to see if there is any possible way for us to stay on a trawler 34 - 38 feet for roughly a week...

Yes, it was much more expensive from what I remember... hmm, wasn't it almost 100k? I could be wrong.

Aww bummer its selling!! 1983 Albin 36 Trawler Power Boat For Sale - www.yachtworld.com

Good deal, that is an interesting looking boat! They do seem rare. Sometimes people put up videos on youtube selling boats - don't forget to check there when you start looking. Like anything, I believe there are people out there that would sell if you asked - just have to find them... I've...

Yes, you're correct, to a degree - in regards to houses going up in value (lets just forget the housing collapse). If the economy was predictable we'd all be rich. Besides the point though. I'm not going to wait until my 59 years old, tired, and on multiple medications to enjoy this!

"I wish I would have done it sooner" I was already convinced I was making the right decision to sell my house (full of this so called equity) and jump onto a boat... self employment does that to you I guess Just do it, and don't have any regrets. Isn't regret just another form of not being...

Great information - In the near future I am planning on working on board. Internet would be needed for downloading and uploading large files - however ping is not a concern as much as data limits. Do these satellite systems have a data cap? I've used directway (hughes net?) and it has a...

I'm also considering selling everything (including the house) and buying a live-aboard. I've herd mixed things about renting.. and based on what I've read about financing a 70's/80's era boat, it just seems like a headache I'd like to avoid. There is always a rental management company, which...

The watermaker seems like it has many uses, I think the biggest for me would be a washing machine. 55chev, I've found that I only need to tell certain people... no sense in telling the world now. My parents used to tell me when I was younger, "The more you talk about doing something, the less...

Good to hear the news on the composting toilet. I don't see why I'd need to use one with my budget... and I am doing research on the sanitization systems you can get if I needed or ever wanted to go that route. The 36ft boats seem to have what we would need, but going larger would be...

Thanks for all the great advice, it is very appreciated! I'll be taking some tours on some boats before years end. In the spring I hope to take some out and get an idea for what is the right amount of space and the best layout. As for the journey, I can see how that could get very tiring...

Thanks for the input! I've spent some time at the docks, but need to spend a lot more.

Hello everyone, I'd like to get an opinion on a few things regarding live-aboard trawlers and my semi insane plan to sell everything I own and live on the water. THE GOAL is to purchase a trawler in spring 2016. There will be 3 of us on board for an indefinite amount of time. Me, my wife...

Hello everyone, I'm new to boating, but planning on buying soon and attempting the great loop, or atleast part of it in the near future. Soon to be married, i'd be on this adventure with a wife and a boston terrier. We both work from home doing digital work and are not tied down as far as a...
