You are really up-beat when it comes to living on a boat aren't you?
I wonder if you ever take into account the space on deck as living
space.

No, I don't think that would be fair, considering the motorhome is parked
on a pad with its nice awning out in a 3,800 acre national park full of
tree-covered mountains, massive waterfalls, flora and fauna....or parked
in a WalMart parking lot for the night, like they do.

Let's compare the two when it's pouring down rain, lightning popping
about both of them. Now we're discussing the interior appurtances and
accomodations, what human amenities they offer. I think the chart is
very accurate...ignoring, of course, the 18' rolling waves....(c;

Lighten up. You're yacht is just a floating RV in an overpriced campsite
with few facilities. The waterfront property owners all over the SC
Lowcountry call them "floating trailer parks", especially when some
developer is trying to build one in front of their view... They don't
find them a bit beautiful.

Some friends of mine, who used to own a Hatteras 56, "Ivy B", have this
massive 54' diesel land yacht. It cost about the same as the Hatteras.
The dock fees, at home, are zero. They liked it so much, after the trip
to Yellowstone last summer, they're having a new land yacht custom built
for an incredible sum. It's supposed to be ready, soon....sort of like
waiting for your new Azimut to be delivered.

I think it has the same engines....(c;
