I'm here mostly "learning" but I want to retire in 5 yrs and do the Great Loop (and then Bahamas). The boat I buy will be my (live aboard) home (divorce, don't ask) and I will live off (mostly) social security. So I'm looking at a low cost boat, especially maintenance.
A single engine trawler is my first instinct, but I see there's many gas-powered yachts (twin V8s) at significantly low prices.
Are these boats a realistic possibility?
[I didn't think so because gasoline doesn't store long-term (well) and gas boats burn fuel faster and thus have less range.]
Thank you,
