What do I need to consider to know to decide if living on a boat is a good idea?
I am moving to a small town on the Chesapeake Bay. I have a really great job but the housing market is dismal. Given that I haven't seen a house I like for under several hundred thousand I am wondering if I wouldn't be farther ahead to buy a really nice boat and live on that.
OK, I realize that I need to figure the costs for slip rental with water and electric, regular pump out service, and satellite TV. They have a great marina here with 500 slips so that shouldn't be a problem. Fuel for a big boat is costly but basically I am not going anywhere.
Does this sound reasonable and what kind of boat should I be looking for?
All you ever need to know - and consider - about moving on to and living a-board your boat - cruising or not:

The above link covers different boats, costs, considerations, what to expect, as well as all the good & bad reasons to do it. . . etc. etc.
Also great points to ponder on this page as well:

As far as I am concerned - the biggest "negative" for you - in the Chesapeake Bay - will be freezing your stern off in winter.
Summer heat is cooler on the water - but winter's cold is colder then an Eskimo's Popsicle.
PS. If you are quite positive you won't be going anywhere, or if anywhere only on very short slow cruises. . . I would look for the big nice "used" Nordic Tug or a Trawler. Short of a houseboat, they are the best for great live a-board space. . . There are some of both on this page:
