Hello Everyone!
My husband and I have been discussing buying a trawler and becoming a live-aboard family, and I was hoping to get your thoughts/advice?
We are at capacity in our current space (a two bedroom condo), and have been looking to upgrade. However, due to covid, our savings have narrowed and we would only really be able to move laterally on land. A friend of ours lives on a boat and was talking about how much more affordable a sizable boat is compared to a house on land.
We both love the water (my husband has his small boating license) and also really enjoy home-improvement projects and doing whatever we can to become self-sufficient. That being said, we are definitely boat novices.
My main concerns are practicality, affordability, and safety.
We have a four month old daughter (thus our rapidly growing need for more space), as well as a 40lb dog and two cats.
Any thoughts?
Thanks so much,
Heidi
