    This boat made me fixated on the idea of buying a boat and living in it.

    While the buying part is plausible.

    The living is a lot fucking harder.

      You have to really like being on the water. It’s just as hard as living in an RV off grid.

        It’s probably a bit easier to live in a boat, since it’s common (and I guess legal) for marinas to allow people to live in their boats while docked there. I own a skoolie (used school bus converted into a motorhome) and it is nearly fucking impossible to find anywhere that I could legally live in it - especially anywhere near big cities. Ironically, I’ve even tried contacting marinas to see if I could live there in my skoolie and they’re all like “hell no you fucking hippie”. I wonder if I could buy a barge, park the bus on it, and then live in a marina.
