Do the chicks dig it? Or are they scared because of the implication?

You might die watching TV. Live your dream, user.

None of this is true. You're just throwing the idea out there to see what arguments are against it and trick us into doing your research for you on the matter.
Andrew Howard

IN THE FUCKING TRASH IT GOES!
Carter Lopez
how terrified are you that you can lose everything the next time a big storm blows in?
Brandon Powell
Just wait until a hurricane comes and destroys your precious boat.
Feels bad man.

Asher Barnes
If you knew how close FAU was to he beach you would know how easy this is to do. (Plus I've been in a sailing club my whole life which helped me convince my parents to help me buy the boat)
Fuck off fgt
Carson Campbell
pretty based. How much nautical skill/training do you think would be required to do this for the average landlubber?
my uncle owned a boat in florida and was constantly complaining about needing repairs or work done and how boat stood for "break out another thousand".
so I am skeptical of the OP.
plus I feel like most sailboats big enough for a comfortable bedroom cost more than 16000
Ayden Rogers
Was gonna post this. OP is a kike, 100%.
Henry Roberts
This isn't even remotely political you faggoty braggart.
Luke Carter
STILL YOU WASTE MONEY ON A SHITTY BOAT! YOU SHOULD GET AN ISLAND PACKET! I MEAN FUCK SAKES THAT IS A FLORIDA COMPANY!
FUCK YOU ARE MAKING ME ANGRY!

ill assume you were somewhere else during that last massive storm that hit the east cost a few months back?
Logan Powell
How do you afford internet on a boat.
Jack Cook
A hurricane did come and I stayed at my friends place.
I thought my boat was gonna be fucked though

Awesome story OP
Hurricanes destroys regular houses too

oh no! a hurricane, better sail through it to somewhere safe!

yeah no shit, you will eventually lose everything to a storm, they are only getting worse and more frequently, not a matter of if but when.

Levi Sullivan
What do you put on any forms that require an address? Just a PO box, or the address of the port? I know it's a stupid question.
Also, does anyone know the legality of what OP's doing? I'm not hating at all, I just want to know how people manage living off the grid like this.
Oliver Hernandez
Ur parents pay for you to live how wise of you wtf
Anthony Peterson
>boat stood for "break out another thousand" Boats are also a hole in the water you throw money into.
Nathan Brown
Insurance
Jackson Price
a boat is about 1000% more vulnerable to storms, I work in a maritime law firm, I have seen hundreds a boats and ships shattered on shores from storms that don't damage beach front homes.
Carter Moore
I wish I had 16k to drop on a boat :(
Thomas Clark
For all of you autistic fucks:
Sailboats are extremely cheap because no one fucking wants them (the outboard on mine is almost as much as the shell)
Sailboats are wayyyyy easier on repairs and maintenance than regular boats
I have unlimited data on my phone which I use most of the time for wifi
And then another mobile wifi device that I set up occasionally when I have the energy.
The hardest part about all of this is learning how to fix shit and having to go places to take a shit because I don't shit on the boat
Andrew Morales
>better put my boat in my spare bedroom till this blows over
Landon Miller
Florida hasn't had a direct image of a Cat 4+ hurricane in almost a 2 decades
Matthew Allen
Don't give away the secret. Cheapest way to live other than homeless. For gods sakes keep it to yourself or the demand will raise rent at slips
Oliver Sullivan
You can buy a Wi-Fi hot-spot that uses cellular. Or he probably pays a fortune for data roaming charges when/if he uses his phone as a hot-spot.

Remember that you need to spend 10% of the vessel's listed value every year on maintenance
Ayden Cook
...
Elijah Scott
next to useless, maritime insurance won't pay you a fraction of that 16,000. You are lucky to get full value on a house from your insurance let alone a boat.
Michael Thomas
You don't know anything about sailboats you retard
Kayden Jackson
Completely legal. Know lots of people that do it. Some marinas receive your mail for you
Camden Wilson
He did indeed. I do not understand the concept, but I am quite willing to learn.
Hudson Bailey
>a guy who goes to gas stations to shit everyday gets quads Kys
Christian Lee
I know a guy who does the same thing in Boston, year round
He told me it was less than half of an equivalent studio even with maintenance, and he makes trips up and down the coast on weekends.
I'm jealous as fuck
Lucas Clark
>having to go places to take a shit
Why would you not reveal this from the get go?
>HEY Sup Forums CHECK OUT MY GREAT LIFE. >I HAVE NOT BEEN COMFY FOR YEARS.
Then we could all feel relieved that your misery is not our own, and move on. If you're lucky, the next hurricane will blow you and your home into a public restroom.
Jonathan Bailey
HI Rachel, you have a nice ass.

What's the average life of a sailboat? .
Liam Roberts
It is a chunk of ham/pig flesh cooked and then soaked in rum.
It is essentially alcoholic meat. I hope to try it someday, maybe relaxing on a floaty or boat in water.
Austin Turner
>16k >sailboat Did you just buy the mast?
Jason James
It's the INTP way, throw your ideas out as fact and see how people react
Lucas Watson
Depends, but he'll never get his money back if he properly maintains the boat.
Antifouling paint every two years (unless you got a copper coated bottom which is expensive as fuck and not going to be found on a 16000 dollar boat)
Maintence of the teak on it requires special oils.
Waxing the entire boat a couple times a year.
Nolan Gray
>not just getting a cozy RV
Austin Thompson
where do you keep the guns though?
and whats the deal with guns in international waters.
Grayson Reyes
How did you find a boat with a set up like that for so cheap. Everything I was looking up was like 300000
Evan Roberts
Kek
Landon Ramirez
Take a look at Craigslist. Tons on there from 60s and 70s
Alexander Ross
How do you store food, without a refrigerator? How do you operate your PC/phone? I mean you can't just plug shit in since a boat isn't connected to the electrical grid
Juan Johnson
Just don't fall asleep user, it could be dangerous.
Thomas Price
Most marinas have restroom/shower facilities that you get access to if you rent a slip, so he probably doesn't have to do much more than walk the length of the pier.
Owen James
Can't say I'm not a bit jealous
Thomas Morales
... i don't get it
Nolan Powell
When was the last time you looked at prices. They are sold like treadmills. You can get a Catalina 22 for pretty much the price of the engine
Hunter Sanders
What's hard to understand?
It's hard to raise cattle and chickens on small islands. So they mostly eat pork since they're easier to raise.
Caribbean Islands and Bahamas started as sugar cane plantations and they made tons of rum.
So rum ham.
Alexander Peterson
Generally taking a shit on a boat is more of a pain in the ass than just going to the head on shore.
Not to mention you need to pay to get your shit pumped off the boat after you fill the holding tank.
Thomas Long
>be rich >convince your parents to buy you a boat
WHOA GUYS WHY AREN'T YOU LIVING THE ULTIMATE REDPILLED LIFESTYLE?
William Jones
Generally shore power is available in most marinas - single or three phase depending also, you can run an inverter from House bank, or generators whilst sailing
Christian Hernandez
I have a 30' sailboat and I would totally do the same thing if I was in your shoes.
Lucas Adams
You do have electric. You plug in at the slip
Brandon Evans
Call them cabins not bedrooms. And a 31 footer will only have 1 cabin, the fold out table/bed isn't a bedroom and neither are the little sleeping cubbies on either side of your door.
Btw you're lying about every bit of this, but you can dream. I can tell but I'm not going to tear you apart anymore
And unless you're on a mooring ball, you're paying more than 150 a month dumbass

Jace Jones
Like before I posted, boats from 1987 still costs 90k.
Kevin Price
>essentially walking down the block to take a shit Pass.
Hudson Watson
also if you go to FAU and you're not from the area you are 100% a fucking retard. might as well "go to" DeVry.
Anthony Jenkins
Bet you're loving the storms.
Justin Murphy
>16000
I'll never have this
Luke Wright
There are 12 Volt refrigerators, and ones that run off the engine.
Most of them though have very little freezer space, enough for a couple small things.
Also, they are top access.
Anthony Kelly
How'd you learn to sail user? Isn't the trip from Florida to the Bahamas kinda tough to do solo? Or am I totally off base
Landon Nelson
Could always take out a (((loan))) and possibly still come out ahead of rent
Isaiah Hughes
I'd love to do this, you're living the life OP. Do you ever fish off the side of it.
Gabriel Foster
You are wrong about literally everything you said. What are you a captain of fuking tying knots
Alexander Robinson
this is easily one of the funnest/highest quality bait posts I've seen
