They actually had a couple real nice ones like that down here. Went from super nice, to a shed on the water.
I checked the mooring fees out of curiosity. About 1800 a year with water and electric hook up.
No property taxes I'm sure. Who knows what kind of insurance you need. Cheap AF way to live. That's going to be me if I can't find work after refusing Vax! Lmao
I'm looking at marinas along the Gulf Coast of Florida in case my next role works out the way I hope it will. As I said to @Caltrop, I'd prefer something I can take out onto the water but I get the appeal of these things.
Absolutely about getting out on the water. This inland lake isn't exactly my style, but it is beautiful up here in the mountains.
To do it right here all you would need is a bass boat tied up to your 'home'.
I once went to a Florida panhandle small town marina to look at a boat. It was a 22 ft catboat, a very wide design and super simple to sail. He wanted 1500 bucks for it. Shoulda got it. Problem being, I lived in New Orleans and it was not trailerable. Had I moved onboard, there was plenty of work in town. Shoulda moved and done it.
You don't have to stick to the coasts if you don't want to.
A lot of people don't realize just how extensive the US inland waterway system is. When I was a kid, I could have walked 50 yards out of my front door with a canoe, put it in the Coal River, near St. Albans, WV, and paddled it all the way to the Gulf of Mexico by way of the Kanawha, Ohio, and Mississippi rivers without ever stepping on land. And the Mississippi runs North all the way up into St. Paul, Minnesota.
