Hello,
Current situation: I am looking to leave the land lover lifestyle with my dog and move to live aboard a vessel. I am hoping for this to take place at least by this time next year but I know there is much research to be done on what boat as well as marina to choose. Instead of renting a apartment or house(Currently about $2200 for rent/utils), I figured why not use that same amount of money towards something that I know I want in the future.I am a complete new guy with large boats. Most time I've spent on one is my dads Glacier Bay Center console for fishing trips.
I am ready for a "live with less" lifestyle. What I would like to know is, I believe my budget for a boat will be in the $110-$125k price range. With this being said it takes a lot of newer vessels out of the picture. What trawlers would you recommend and years to look at that I would be able to afford.
I would like to use this boat to live aboard with a dog, and occasionally my son who will be 3 next year. I would like to travel places when I have the time off, like to the keys, Caribbean, as well as into the Gulf of Mexico. Like I mentioned, this is the start of my research and am very much looking forward to this new life.
Thanks for the time in advance,
Jesse
