Wow talk about having a light bulb turn on in your mind. Anyway can you tell me what a good boat would be to start out with would be. I far from being loaded. My idea would be to live on my boat and make my way south. I&#8217;m at the very early stages of planning so knowing what boat I should be looking at is a starting point. Thanks in advance for any suggestions you can pass on.<\/p>\n<p>Robert West<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"answer\">\n<p>Hi Robert:<\/p>\n<p>There is no simple answer to your question. I would take the time to look at lots of options to establish value. Then, buy the simplest structurally sound boat you can find. Wait f or the right situation where there is pressure to sell.
