This week's Deep Houseboat Life video is the third video in our houseboat buying series. The first video, we shared 3 tips when buying a houseboat to help you find and buy the boat that’s right for you. In our second video, we introduced a houseboat budget tool to help you estimate the cost to BUY a houseboat.
In this third video, we’ll pick up where we left off in our second video, diving further into the houseboat budget tool to show how we’re estimating the cost to LIVE ON and OWN a houseboat for our first year. At the end of this year, we’ll do an update on what our actual costs to own and live were for the first year living on a houseboat on Lake Lanier.
If you missed our first video on the cost to BUY a houseboat, that’s OK. To catch you up, we view houseboat buying and owning costs as different, yet critical to think through before buying a boat. Figuring out the potential costs to buy and own a houseboat is something we’ve been researching and planning against our budget for a long time, and isn’t a decision we made last minute.
And buying a houseboat is the easy part. It’s like the saying goes: “the two happiest days of a boat owner's life are the day they buy the boat and the day they sell it.” We think that’s mostly because the boat buyer doesn’t have an accurate view of how much it costs to buy and own a houseboat.
So we want to share with you THE ACTUAL TOOLS we used to estimate the potential boat buying and ownership costs to see if we could afford houseboat life and houseboat expenses on a budget. Hopefully this will give you a more accurate view of what it takes to own and live on a houseboat and houseboat costs, and will give you tools to make it happen, too.
