Hi all after reading many posts and searches. I had the question who lives year around on the smallest SeaRay and where?
 
The reason I ask is I plan to live on my 240 we. Not by choice but out of necessity I know I will have to downsize so to speak, and spend alot of time on anchor. but sometimes life just makes it that way I am also working on going off grid as much as possible as well. Any sugestions welcome

My son had a remote control SR that was maybe 18" long that had a liveabout spider. If this is the smallest liveaboard on this thread is there some sort of prize?
 
I guess you can do it. It may get tight after some time. Good luck.
 
Thanks sbw1 that's helpful. I am not eating bugs!
 
living full time on a 24'? that's going to get old real fast. you'll probably have to dock her every 2 days. (pump out, water, supplies, fuel) You can't hold much on a boat that size.
 
Part of me envys your decision or situation. It boils down to what do you really need? A bed and a roof and some food. :smt038
 
Lifestyle? hope you like mac n cheese, cause that's about all you'll eat with no fridge, no stove, no microwave. You could get a grill and boil some water. Or you can catch a fish and eat it right then and there, before it spoils. Maybe he could turn his canvas upside down and use it as a water catch. Head shmead, just drop trow on the swimplatform and then dip your butt in the water to wash it off, just pop out the logo on the platform and woolaa, bottomless porta potty

or he can have a cooler full of iced beer, a nice steak on the grill, no mortgage, no job, no more mondays, living the prate lifestyle while we work 80 hours a week o pay the house mortgage, college payments, car payments, etc......

Wow you nailed it. :lol: The range of expert advice is bottomless. :grin:

eman369 Only thing left to do is trade it for a blow boat you'll be all set. No gas to buy.
 
I have a stove a fridg and 30 gallon fresh water tank. I have 35 hours of gas on full tank and just short of 300 amp hours of power all lighting is led except anchor and nav lights
which will soon be led. I am not going completly off grid just mostly. I just have to get some Obama money right :thumbsup:
 
You would be surprised how little you really need a fridge. Do a search on living without.
 
Thanks Four sons I was wondering where I should put the genny there is this hole with this piece of metal and a bunch of rope. I thought that would be a good place to run it :wow:. seriously though the ability / feasibility is there! I saw earth ball my boat is bigger and much more sea worthy than that. Chuck thanks I have seen many a guy living with only a cooler (and not just for beer) it is carzy how long stuff lasts without cold

If you really want to learn how to live aboard a boat.....Learn from sailors...There are great blogs, forums, etc........A wealth of information....
 
Thanks wetpaint I have been reading much in preparation for this move. I am not sure how it will workout but depression is on my side: wait, mabe thats not a good thing. I will survive. not depressed just sad.
