May possibly live on a boat for a few years...

I would think you would want some other type of boat . A cruiser type is un comfortable crawling around. You need a boat with doors you can walk through without bending over.

The companies I contract with aren't going to care if I'm coming from the moon each day as long as I show up on time, treat my patients, finish my documentation, and most importantly get my billing done.
I really don't see how this can hurt a career and I've had this idea since I was a student and first learned of traveling therapy.

That is exactly what I was going to recomend, a Sea Ray at least a 40' Sedan, not a Sun Dancer. I had a 40' Sundancer, great week end boat, but wouldn't work for a live aboard. Not enough storage room. Be sure to get a twin Diesel. Gas is less money, but not near as good.

I think you should do it. If I were going to do it I would choose either a 52 sea ray or a 52 cruisers express. The cruisers is incredibly large down below for its size and being an express. Otherwise a 50 marquis is a pretty sweet deal.

Downtown42 is my hero!!!
I am so impressed that Downtown42 lived on a 30' aft for 8 months with his wife and dog. I was on a 34' aft alone and every few days it shrunk another 6", or seemed to.
I know, 4' doesn't sound like much, but on a boat it can be huge!
For the most part if the title says Sport, fish anything and there are a few other "tags" you likely would not be happy with as a full timer live-a-board. One of the best boats I passed on and have sort of kicked myself in the tail ever since was a late 70's Bayliner. I think it was 46' +/- diesel. The salon was very roomy and the stateroom, while cozy, had as much room as you are going to get on any boat short of a houseboat. One of the nicest things were the classic lines and the quarts per hour fuel use instead of gallons per hour gas use.
I am sure three will be posts on here dogging me about a Bayliner, but that shows they don't understand the old, big Liners were extrememly well built, etremely well engineered and extremely well designed.
I glanced at this site and there are many interesting boats on it and many styles. For a general rule of thumb, the more it looks like a Clorox bottle, the more wasted space there is. www.gregoryboat.com/Boats.aspx

many different dissenting points of view. go look at them all. they are easy to buy (considering you have necessary funds) and difficult to sell. another thought is a motor home. or pickup with camper trailer. you can try the vagabond lifestyle, and tow a boat place to place.
