cruiser Power Boat
Living on the boat??
I'm thinking of an idea of perhaps living on a boat, but not those narrow boats, something more like a cruiser or a power boat.
Has anyone got any ideas where to start looking and any things i need to consider, disadvanatges?
Thanks
I'm assuming that you are in the UK since you mention "narrow boats".
I'm also assuming that you aren't very interested in "continuous cruising" and are maybe looking at a wide-beam boat, moored in one place.
Firstly, you can start looking in your local newsagents - the back pages of the boating magazines are full of adverts of boats for sale and brokerage.
Secondly, if you are looking to live in a Marina, start looking now! Good Residential moorings are becoming difficult to find and in some parts of the Country (London and the Home Counties) very expensive.
I have a 30' boat on a non-residential mooring on a canal Marina in the Midlands (the Trent & Mersey) and I reckon that my total running costs are in the order of £1700 p.a. I do not have to pay Council tax because my boat is classified as a pleasure boat although I use it a lot as a Country Cottage during the summer.
My mooring has a land-line for electricity (paid for with a card in the slot) and the boat carries around 50 gallons of domestic water. She has a full galley, washroom with a Thetford cassette and a sep. shower; sleeps 2.
The £1700 includes my mooring, British Waterways Licence, boat insurance, fuel and servicing.

I think in general boats are considered smaller by comparison. That, and ships are usually used at sea or in the ocean, where as how many ships go on ponds and lakes?
I guess it comes down to usage and size. Ferries are mostly freshwater and don't go too terribly far, thus they are boats. Subs…well..I know they were first used in small channels and bays, so maybe their original usage have given them the boat stigma =).
I would consider to believe IFF you would consider the possibility that we have created "God" (See my other answers)
