I need some advice. I?m a 60 years old woman, in pretty good health and am mildly active. I grew up on a lake back in Iowa, first on a 21 foot cabin cruiser and then ski boats and cabins. I haven?t been on a boat for 30 years but find myself spending hours on the internet perusing the boat for sale sights. I started out day dreaming of a roomy sized houseboat that I could one day retire to and live full time on. The problem with that is I don?t want to spend my retirement in Kansas and don?t want to wait till my 70?s to own a boat.
So I down sized my dream?..trailerable houseboats?? then to cabin cruiser and now I?m back to larger houseboats. My main dilemma is ?.. should I start small and trade up? Or?. This late in life, buy what I?m going to stay in until the End. How hard is it to ?Trade Up?? Would there be buyers out there for my old boat? Will the price of a newer boat, when I?m ready for it, be way out of reach? Should I just buy the end boat and bite the bullet? Move somewhere warm, live on the boat and ?try? and find another job at 60? Ugh! I just keep going around and around.
Any ?older? boaters out there with some insight?
