Answer 2

look on apoloduck.com,or boats24.com,but think what you will need as basic everyday things on it,there are mooring charges,survey fees,slipping(taking it out of the water for overall)do you want to go cruising?,if so, you will need some training,are you doing this alone?.

Answer 3

An ideal sail boat to live on is a catamaran which usually has two queen beds on board, so if your partner snores you can kick him out into the other berth. They have their own bathroom and galley and dining / entertainment area, some even have a little office area. If you buy one, make sure you buy one that has diesels engines, not outboards.

Answer 4

I have one Ill sell you!! Haha. If its just you then its perfect. Rent is about 200 bucks a month all bills paid. you got water, electric, and sewer. Get a dish for tv and you have it made. I paid about 15k for mine, but keep in mind that i live in waco tx. I lived on mine while my house was being built. It was perfect. I could fish, watch sunsets on the water.. it was a blast. I use it for rec now only. They can tend to be a money pit tho. And if you dont have the cash, banks will lend you the money and if you list it as a rec loan, then your payment will b 150 a month. Cheap and fun living if you ask me.

Answer 5

Obvious place to look is near the water. Check out the local marinas if you have any.

Are you looking for sailboat or motor boat? Are you going to leave it tied to the dock or take it out? Do a search "boat for sale". start looking at what is available for what price. You will get an idea of price, makes and types. thy the yahoo live aboard group.

We are looking for a sailboat at 45 feet. like the hunter 45cc, but that is pretty expensive.

Answer 6

I google boats with live aboard slips. found marinas , dealers, boats of all sizes,and charter magiznes about things to consider when living aboard.  I'm looking at a gaff cutter right now.
