Oh yeah, I forgot one other very important thing. When looking for a boat, get one with a seperate shower stall otherwise you won't use it and when you do, it trashes the head.

shoupart:Hey, has anybody lived on a boat for an extended period of time? like a sailboat or something?
I was kinda toying with the idea and it sounded pretty fun. If anybody's tried it, I'm curious to hear how you liked it, how expensive it was to keep up, etc- the hard parts, the easy parts.
It seems to me that it'd be fun to buy some boat outright on Craigslist or whatever, stop paying rent on a house for a while, move onto the boat and cut back.
I'm sure there's a mountain of expenses like maintenance costs, plus slip fees, fuel, etc... So what's it all come down to?
