By the way, since I am now focused on, at most, a 25-27 foot cuddy cruiser (like a Sea Ray weekender) and could even end up with a bowrider or...
Thanks. I agree. I have really don’t want to trailer it at all, for a variety of reasons.
The boat size debate is interesting but for me I don’t think anything bigger than 30 feet is an option. Based on a week of looking at boats...
Tbanks NYCAP, that's a lot of good info about the classes. I'd like to learn the basics and just be able to dock the thing and get it where I want...
I was talking about the weight of the boat for the rack. I don't know what you're talking about. Yes, I'm new and trying to learn. Nice to meet you.
Capt Ralph, a little 25-30 foot Cuddy should be easily less than 10,000 pounds, right? I looked up a couple that had specs and they said...
Up to 40 feet and 10,000 pounds (loaded). And no Prius, just a regular Acura ILX.
I got on a waiting list for a rack storage place!!! As I was doing my research, I realized that the waiting lists for the marinas are super long,...
Also, I didn't see a way to change the thread title, so maybe a mod can do it. I think I've been talked out of the liveaboard thing, so maybe...
Update: I found a couple boating clubs in the area. The one-time initiation fees range from $3000 to $7000, and then the monthly fees range from...
Great suggestions and lots of stuff I hadn’t considered (which is why I’m here). I think the boating club is probably the best idea, to start....
That’s what I’m doing. Like I said, all of this is at least a year away. I figure to do a lot of thinking, research, talking to boaters,...
Maybe like a Sea Ray Weekender. I'd like to be able to go out in the ocean for the day, maybe bring 3-4 friends and have lunch. Have some shade....
You guys have totally ruined my dream on the first day. :p I think the lack of liveaboard slips in LA probably made the whole thing a nonstarter...
By the way, I am probably at least 14 months from having the kid off to college, the divorce finalized and the current house sold, so that is sort...
You guys are ruining this on my first day! To be clear, I am not looking at this as an investment or a way to save money. Just something I think...
I wasn’t thinking it would be cheaper to live on a boat, but if the expense turns out to be similar I could swing it. And I know I can’t afford...
Hey everyone. I have always loved the water and had this fantasy about the liveaboard life, but only recently have I really crunched the numbers...
