I lived on a 38 express cruiser for over a year. I loved it. If I ever live in a city near the water with a safe marina, I will never live on land again.

Lived for 14 yrs on a 56 ft carver in seattle with 3 people fully contained and loved it...Try to stay over 50 ft or it tends to get stuffy....I have lived aboard a Catalina 38 sailboat on San Francisco Bay for the past 6 years. 2 adults and 2 cats. it can be a little tight at times but is quite liberating. It is hard to let go of 'stuff' and minimize your possessions to what you actually need. I do miss my tools and the ability to go out to the garage and build something. But boat maintenance fills that void pretty well. You have to consider your toilet and laundry facilities. We have a pump out service that will come to the boat or we can motor over to the pump out station. Our marina has a laundry that can be crowded at times but we seem to work it out OK. Try not to clutter your living space and be a minimalist or you wont want to sail or cruise your house. Humidity WILL BE A PROBLEM!! Get a dehumidifier ASAP. We found a SOLEUS model that is reasonably sized and priced and has the option to drain into the bilge or sink or overboard as well as into its' own internal tank.
What would you call the trim tabs that are mounted under the back of the boat?
