    Liveaboard advice for a novice

    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...

    Any Regrets?

    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!

    Any Regrets?

    "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...

    Workaboards

    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...

    Any Regrets?

    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...

    Liveaboard advice for a novice

    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...

    Liveaboard advice for a novice

    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...

    Liveaboard advice for a novice

    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...
