Hello Friends

[Carat]

Hi all. I'm selling off land assets to live on a boat and very happy about my future on the water!

I'm looking at motor yachts, but don't know much at all. I hope to learn while property is on the market, and when I'm ready to buy my boat, I'll be able to make an educated decision.

I will be cruising solo with my dog, and people around me have told me I can't solo a boat, that it is too hard to do alone. I plan to live on the lake in my boat to learn...then move to the coast to live aboard and cruise. Hopefully the lake experience will prepare me a little for coastal. I have experience with engine rebuilds, built a top end small block myself in the past, but other than that, learning a boat will be a fun challenge. I look forward to learning a lot here.

Welcome aboard Carat! Lake practice will certainly help and there are many folks living aboard and cruising solo. Good luck to you!
