NNNNOOOOO! Don’t do it! Tried the boat life thing about 12 years ago. It was a 40 ft Catalina, second hand, very nice for sailing, but despite its many amenities it simply sucked as a home. Cold in the winter (and this is in NE Florida!) and hotter than hell in the summer. Takes daily maintenance, slip fees, sewage pumpouts, water and fuel replinisment costs, shore power (30 amp only). Gotta use the laundromat at least once a week because of the heat/cold/boat maintenance chores and very limited closet (locker) space. Very limited cooking and refrigerator space, limited pantry, and on and on, and on. Difficult to get around in with even two people living on it.
If you like going up and down ladders, banging your shins, knees and toes on bulkheads and deck fittings, exposed to the sun and rain all the time, constant motion even dockside, then it’s probably the life for you! The only enjoyable thing about it was the fellow live-aboards. Small, highly stressed cadre of friends that enjoyed drinking and bar-b-queing on the dock or in the parking lot (no place to park your car under cover, by the way).
Even takes the fun out of actually sailing because you have disconnect, stow everything, tie everything down, roust out the sails, etc. Then when you’re done sailing you gotta reconnect, unstow, blah blah. Never again for us.
That sounds like a little fun surrounded by misery.
I doubt it can be better put than that. And that’s a pretty good sized boat!
