Answer 2

Let's see if I am reading this right.  You want a 40' house boat with 2 bedrooms, but don't want to spend much money?  Not going to happen.  Any 40' boat is going to be expensive, a house boat is expensive combine the two and you are looking at some real cash.  Anybody that would come on to Yahoo! Answers looking for advice on a purchase that large, can't afford it, or I don't want the noob on the water with me in a boat that size.  Look it up using Google or Yahoo.

Answer 3

Boating is a luxury, not a right. If you can barely afford the boat, you won't be able the maintenance or the day-to-day use of it.  

Expect to spend 5% of the boat's value every year on maintenance (bottom paint, engine care, etc), and at least another 5% again on usage (fuel, slip rent, etc).  

So if you've got a $60,000 boat, expect $3000 a year in maintenace, and another $3000 in fuel and rent.... and that's a VERY low number for fuel and rent.

Do you have that kind of disposable income?

Answer 4

Answer 5

Houseboat as in something you can take out on the water for a ride, or one of the ones that are tied up to land at all times?    A stationary floating house costs about the same as any other house to build.

Answer 6

if you have $400,000. or more to spend ,you might find a used one thatyou like. also figure on spending eight to ten thousand for other expenses per year.
