I will be retiring in several years and just can't make up my mind as to what I want to do. I have been investigating full timing in a Class A. However, I have always loved being in, on or near water. My first thought is to buy a boat to live on, this would be my ideal! I live in Clearwater, FL. I did do some research on boats, however it seems even in FL there aren't many marinas that allow live aboards. I know either full timing on a boat or Class A motorhome will cost $XXX. I don't plan on either traveling or sailing extensively. Would like to spend 2 - 3 months in one location.
My price range for either is going to be in the $50,000 range. Definitely going to buy used.
Any ideas on which would be more economical: Boat or Class A? Yearly Maintenance costs? Which is going to have more living space? Has anyone ever started out on a boat then switched or vise versa? I know I did not give a great deal of specifics but let me add a few:
Class A: 32 - 36 ft range, gas.
Boat: Not quite sure size range but something that would be comfortable for full time living.
Ideas, suggestions, anyone with experience will be greatly appreciated!
