Yeah, I'm having a hard time believing that anyone will finance this purchase. Have you talked to a bank yet? Do you have any mechanical skills? Also post pictures of the boats you look at.

Make sure to ask the seller what he spends per year in maintenance and know that's the absolute lowest possible amount. I doubt electricity is really included in the docking fee or else someone would have docked the SS Bitcoin there by now and ruined it for everyone

Lots of things to be concerned about with a seller financing deal too but that's secondary to whether you can afford to cash flow the boat in the first place.

Have you looked into renting a boat? That loan and refurbishment cost is going to eat up whatever you'd "save" by buying.

Have you watched "The Gang buys a Boat" as preparation for this adventure? You should. You know, because of the implication.

You should buy a sprinter van to live in and park it at the marina. This will actually save you money although you'll still be very cold.

Strong negotiating tactic or strong trolling tactic but hilarious either way.

You can buy a van on Craigslist tomorrow when they evict you, do it.

Thread title should be 'savings start pouring in' just to reflect the water that will inevitably sink this idea
