Slow and modest compared to the big boys. I guarantee something like this would work. Its not for sale though.

Do it!

I moved aboard a 43' Wellcraft Portoifno in 2010. Love it! I just sold the Portofino and bought a Carver 4207, which is a damn Cruise Ship compared to the Express Cruiser. I like the Marina folks, nice people--my 38KV scarab is a few slips away hanging in a sling...life is good.

I sold my house in FL, sold all my junk and paid cash for a liveaboard. I have not regretted moving onto a boat!

I love our 400ss but it is strictly a weekend boat. Living on it full time would get old in a hurry.

I agree you need something with more beam and larger overall size.

carver is about the best boat for living space to overall size ratio. of course it rides really well when tied to the dock...

If you want to float in comfort -i'd go trawler. Not flashy,not fast but will get you anywhere at 10-15 knots sipping diesel and damn near as roomy as a houseboat and has the equip/room for a small tender and your bike and don't need to strap it on a swim platform.
