It's a lfe-style choice. Wonderful decision for me. 2024 figures in San Diego: 39 foot trawler, bought in 2014 was about 15% the cost of an average house in San Diego County. Due to market craziness, it has appreciated in value which is not something one can count on. Slip and live-aboard fee 1260. Boat payment is 610. Diver averages-out to 200 month but that is for three boats (39', 21' and 17') and includes zinc replacement. Water, cable, internet are free. Sewage pumper is 20 bucks per week if one does not want to move the boat to the free DIY pump-out. Insurance is about 1100/year. Maintenance is easy except for the big diesel... if you are a DIY guy in your house you'll be fine on the boat. Routine diesel maintenance is just as easy as routine maint on your car. Cylinder Head replacement (CAT 3116 -single) cost me 7K but that was due to my letting the previous owner off the hook; I had a stipulation in the contract but I screwed it up. Separate boat and engine surveys are a must! One more money-saving tip: Dual engines get you in the slip easier but I am an avowed single screw sailor. I see no reason to feed, cool and maintain two engines when one gets the job done. Also opens-up the engine room so one can move around a bit. I would also look at forgoing a generator unless you anchor-out a lot. An adequately-sized house bank with inverter is adequate for anchoring out for a few days a few times per year. I'm happy to answer yacht/live-aboard questions... CPO, USCG, ret. 10 year live-aboard.

Thats crazy, you pay a diver to rub the bottom of your boat? Get a small hookah and do it yourself, plus they are great for shallow water diving On my PDQ Antares 44, I had a brownies third lung , never needed bottom paint, or haul out to replace anodes. In the eight years I had the boat, I only got hauled out once to repair damage from hitting something on a night passage to Bermuda.
@aquious9532 жыл бұрын
Wondering why you have a diver dive the bottom so often. I'm a diver, and I might go down twice a year to clean the engine intakes and give the zinks a little wetsanding. I put prop speed on the props and trim tabs and lanolin on the shafts. I stay away from wiping the bottom off because it removes the paint and creates faster bottom growth.

Buying your boat is actually not the highest cost. I'm nitpicking here, not necessarily criticizing your video, but the largest cost is a loss of economic opportunity. That means you lose the opportunity for your real house to rise in value. Boats sink in value. Houses rise (up and down, yes, but up overall). My house in California netted me one million dollars over the course of 25 years. Good luck finding a boat that will do that, or anything remotely close to that. But don't buy a house right now. Housing is due for a correction due to several factors. Buying two or three years from now will likely make sense. Perhaps the best course of action for someone who wants to live on a boat is to own a house they rent out as well as the boat. Then you're diversified and protected from inflation.
@NoRegretsLifestyle2 жыл бұрын
This life style is not about making money, if someone loves there money more then living life i would highly recommend not buying a boat it's not about the money.

That's easy to fix if you plan a bit. I sold my house, originally to build another one. The CV happened and all that stopped. So then I thought I would buy one. But now prices are too high. So I took all that money and invested the hell out of it. Spent time to learn how and just did it. Now instead of buying a house, or boat for that matter. I created a very respectable permanent income. This income is substantial enough to buy any boat I may want within a year. That gives me time to arrange all the details. And when I make a move. I will have all the income I need for the lifestyle with no work involved...

What kind of boat insurance do you use? Do they allow liveaboards? Also, how does insurance work if you are a liveaboard?
@NoRegretsLifestyle Жыл бұрын
