I don't see "live aboard" licences as a way to make a lot of
money.
I like the idea of selling dock privileges to the dock owner.
You'll need to figure out what the market will bear.


along the Ct. shore, one can buy a condominium unit consisting of a
dock for a 36' motor or sail boat for about$40/$50K plus then pay the
monthly carrying charges for electricity, etc., then one can rent out
usage of the dock to transients or longer term boaters if one can find
such customers. which is exactly why much such dock space goes
unsold despite the 1% continuing to contrive to be overpaid so as to
be able to make such 'investments'.

That's actually a pretty good price for waterfront property in
Connecticut assuming you need a dock.
