New boat advice
I am thinking of doing something crazyy,, and wanted some advice before I do so.
Recently I found a realy good deal on a 36' sport fishing boat, It has a large cabin,(2 staterooms) and a salon. It is in very good condition, just remodeled with paint inside and out, interior, and recent engine maintainence. I know in alot of cases you dont make money on a boat,, but if I got rid of my apt in the city,, and just crashed on the boat during the week. (marina is 15mins from work), I would save about $1000 a month that could go towards the boat. any thoughts?
The slip is going to be about $250 a month, and the payment on the boat with a good down, and a 5yr note is close to $500.

Sounds like fun. No matter how big it is, boats get small.
If I didn't have fiancee - I would definately be living in a 37+boat. I almost did when I got out of college, but the gal had a nice warm house fully furnished and all I had to do was move in.
My only problem was with storms with high winds and rough water.
