I figured it was the best choice as I get to learn and experience first hand living on and maintaining a boat, without any financial commitment. When I come to buy my own boat, I will have much more knowledge on what to look for.

Great for me, but sorry I can't give any enlightening information!

Good luck!

Hey Miami,
Thanks for your news. Sounds like good way to go. I'm plowing ahead with plans to buy a boat. So much to consider and to budget for!
Good luck in your new arrangements and if you have any insights, I'm all ears.
Joe
