One of my more interesting memories of Barnegat is seeing a 70 something commercial fishing boat laying on its side after being broached and capsized in the inlet. |

I was thinking...land refuse center. By the time you make a hulk of a boat "livable," you will have spent more than it takes to buy a boat where most of the systems are in decent shape. Also, if planning to "live aboard" in a northern clime, the average old cruiser like this Sea Ray really sucks. They're not insulated, freezing water and waste lines inside and outside the boat are real and continuing problems, there's not much convenience inside. These boats are not the equivalent of a 35' travel trailer. However. He never said where the boat would be docked. He might want it in Texas for all I know. |

It's still not so great, especially if the boat can't move on its own power. I had a friend, now deceased, who lived on a pretty decent cabin cruiser down by the Washington Marina in downtown DC. There were always "things" going wrong on the boat, sometimes serious things, usually having to do with plumbing or it being too hot or too cold. It's not like "cruising" in the Carib. Restoring a hulk is a pretty big undertaking that requires lots of time and substantial cash. And really living on a small boat, full-time, requires significant attitudinal changes. We have a pretty decent boat, and we wouldn't want to "live" on it for more than a week at a time, and it has, reasonably, most of the comforts of home, and nothing on the boat is broken. |

You're not likely to get consistently good boating weather until the 4th of July and it's on its last legs by labor day. You need to venture much further South if you wish to enjoy boating 6 to 8 months out of the year. I am astonished by the number of you Yanks that waste so much of your liquid and perhaps not so liquid assets on boating. They should teach economics in college. |
