thats a $22,000 version of what pirate king suggested before! lol while it would be a lot of room, id like to be able to actually sail. thats mainly why the idea is so appealing to me, that and saving $.

You know what the best day of owning a boat is?
The day you sell it. :biggrin:
I love my boat, but it sure eats into my funds on plenty of occasions. Especially during shark season!!

25-27 feet would be uncomfortable as hell to live on for 8 months a year. My parents own a 1979 Tartan 37 and I must say I wouldn't want to spend 8 months on it. While it would be freaking awesome to go hopping around like a bum for a year it would suck balls living in one port all year.
Their boat is almost a carbon copy of this one:

the marina i have my boat at, has tons of house boats.
I've never been on one before until this weekend when the manager of the marina took me onto one that that is being renovated. I have no idea what the costs associated w/ living on one might be, but these sure are awesome as fuck!
Only problem is these things look like they are built on barges. So, your going no where!
- BTW - i looked at some of those sailboat listings, where the hell do you shower? & you realize that on some of those ships, your going to sleep on top of the toilet?

Do it! You only live once...
Meh. Hats off to you if you can do this, but I seriously can't be bothered to deal with most people that rent those kinds of places. At the end of the day I'd rather just go work for someone else.
Living on the boat seems like an ultimate way to keep relationships short. Chicks dig it and wanna bang on the boat, then they wake up in the morning and realize how effing small the place is, leave, and never come back. Really this could be worse.
My grandfather had a 30' Pearson when I was a kid. We used to weekend on it all the time. We kids didn't really shower all weekend. The 'rents would either row in and use the marina facilities or use this solar shower thing he had. They'd set it up on the bow and just shower in swim trunks. Probably frowned upon if you live there.
'Round here tripple deckers... don't exist!

Yeah, because you've never woken up next to the shitter.

lmao at the quick relation ships thing bubba. hahha i could live with that. as for the shitty shitter issue, i would prolly use the marinas shitter since i would have to clean my own shit should i choose to use the boat shitter. and there are showers there too. i know it would not be fun or easy for me not having a traditional shitter but what good is having a shitter anyway, if its never really your shitter at all? i wanna own a shitter not rent a shitter.

Yeah. Again, because you've never done this. Riiiight.
Meh. Who the hell am I kidding? I'd never do this. I got me a 4-bedroom cape (with a 2 car attached garage and unfinished workshop.. er.. basement) and there's no way I'm giving it back! My choice of 3 hoppers to do my thing in. Full size beer cooler.. er.. fridge. And the bedroom only rocks under two circumstances, both usually involve alcohol.
When we had the big wind storm last December I showered at the mini-gym at the office a couple times. Although that sucked.
