Long time boat driver (Maine commercial fisherman) total rookie as liveaboard.
Will be buying a 52' - 60' DeFever and will be full time liveaboards. Located east of San Francisco and very anxious to leave this state. If we buy a West coast boat we will head for Kodiak Island. If an east coast boat the time of year will dictate our direction. We do not have plans to keep a terra firma base so a lot of our questions will be about how to deal with taxes, insurance, registry when being wanderers. We are in our middle 60's and enjoying good health. So if I may--where is the best place to register a boat for this kind of lifestyle. I'm leaning toward Maryland, but figure you good folks who have been there and done that will have opinions. Please Share.
Wolffish. I used to catch wolfish in my nets and admired their capabilities.
