[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3736920, member: 35036"] I don’t see why not. I considered purchasing a small sailboat with a cabin back in 2010 when I got back from Afghanistan. But then I realized that I would have to drag it back to Oklahoma, and the slip fees where I was we’re almost as much as rent. I think that it’s completely feasible. The biggest issue with Oklahoma is you’re going to be stuck where you put the boat. If we had a more impressive waterway like the Mississippi you could have a lot more freedom, but I don’t see a boat big enough to live on taking trips down the red river, Canadian, or deep fork. Just think of a house boat or cabin cruiser as a RV on a lake. Some extra batteries, an RV solar setup, maybe a generator, and you have a full blown house on the water. I think it would be pretty cool. You could just drift/anchor out wherever you want for a week or two at a time, come back to the marina, spend the weekend on shore getting groceries, dumping waste, refilling fuel/water, and hanging out in town. When you’re done, back out on the water you go. Your rent would be slip fees, fuel/water/sewage, and annual registration. [/QUOTE]
