I am very new to the community, I would love some information I am having a hard time finding.
So my wife and I have been looking into live aboard options.
We believe it would be a great adventure we where originally looking at getting a motor yacht to live on and it is still I the possibilitys. But we are looking seriously at sailing my uncle owns a couple sailboats I have sails with him on a 24 ft sailboat and of course if we go with a sailboat we will learn first hand everything to be safe.
So here it goes my question is we want a boat that has a little more home feel to it a open living area. We really only need 3 beds or so we would like a full kitchen and a enjoyable living area we want something that can be managed by two people. So as of right now we are looking at about a 70 ft sail boat, possibly a sail motor. For about 250 k or less.
We are willing to do a lot of work and put some money to change things we essentially would like to get something nice and make it more modern threw the years we are wondering one how much change can you do I a boat like can you knock out a wall and expand a room and such. Also we want to make sure it isn't silly to think we could handle a boat that size my uncle thinks we can. We are wanting to Mainly stay between Florida and the carabbiean. Possibly go up California's coast as well. We are young and are at the beginning of this all please any advice would be great and constructive criticism is fine thank you.
