hello all
excuse me very much ahead that some of questions are quite beginners one.
but it will be lovely to receive advices from people with much more experiences and knowledge.
I am 40 yrs old, Japanese, solo, currently in Mexico. Semi-retired coping to live a new life style called perpetual lifestyle. Left my country Japan two years ago. it means I do not have a home nor an official residential address. I would like to travel as slow as possible. It seems that Trawler lifestyle fits me. Unfortunately I have never owned a car since I am a colorblind and can't distinguish traffic lights.. def not a handy person at all. never owned a boat neither. my idea was to buy a Trawler in the states, get familiar with her for a few months and ship it to Europe to live aboard.
here are questions
1. Is it possible to buy & register a boat without having an official address?
2. Is it possible to have a boat insurance without having an official address?
3. I am looking at two boats, Nordic tug 32 or Mainship 34, are those boats compatible with costal cruising? Can they be operated by one person?
4. are there any other other recommended trawler i should look into? (budget 120k incl. upgrades, size: 35ft or less)
5. what should I be concerned or prepared for buying US built trawler to live aboard on it in Europe in term of Maintenance, support, etc.
6. how come trawler market are so much smaller in Europe??
if it is doable, i will visit Florida, learn to operate a boat the start boat hunting within this year.
thank you very much for your time. any advices or opinions will mean the world to me.
