HI Everyone
Hubby and I plan to buy a houseboat and live aboard, we need any information regarding buying, shipping it to where we want to live. Can we drive/sail the houseboat on salt water?? Please email me at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
We have never been on a houseboat but it is our dream for when he retires in 2 years.
Thanx in advance for any and all replies.

WELCOME TO THE BOARD. IF YOU HAVE NO EXPERENCE I WOULD SUGGEST YOU REVIEW THE 30+ PAGES OF POSTS ON THE OLD BOARD. I WOULD ALSO SURF THE NET AND BUY SOME BOATING MAGAZINES.

BEFORE YOU INVEST IN A BOAT, CONSIDER A RENTAL. A WEEKS RENTAL CAN ANSWER A LOT OF QUESTIONS.

IF YOUR CONSIDERING LIVING ABOARD LOOK FOR A BOAT IN THE 48'+ RANGE. THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIVING ABOARD AND CAMPING ABOARD.

WHEN YOU GET A BETTER IDEA OF WHERE YOUR HEADING WE WILL BE BETTER ABLE TO HELP YOU WITH SPECIFIC QUESTIONS.

GENERALLY SPEAKING HOUSEBOATS ARE NOT BUILT FOR UNPROTECTED (OFFSHORE) WATERS.
