I'm thinking about moving onto a boat. I'm a bachelor and living on
the shore in New Jersey, was looking at house but they're insane right
now. I'm thinking about buying an old Chris Craft (wood hull) and
moving on the water. Has anybody ever done this in NJ? Know about good
marinas for such a thing? I'm worried about the water in the winter,
heat and the wood hull. If anyone has any experience I would appreciate
some feedback.
Thanks!


Although you have received some excellent advice so far you may want to post
the same question at www.boated.com. There are several folks there who live
aboard their boats in northern climates and can probably offer additional
advice and information.

The trip to the marina restroom in January and February across a slippery
dock and through snow would be enough to drop the idea, as would returning
from a warm shower at the marina shower facilities.. ;-)
