Ok, Long to short, Had to sell my house after the 2009 financial crisis as i lost my job, Currently renting a flat, i hate it! Can't get back on the property ladder as i am 57 years old, Had a thought about buying a house/long boat, I've got 25K to spend if i need to, Mooring seem's pretty cheap here in North Devon (Barnstaple. Bideford), What i want to know from you expert's is the best type of hull to go for, I have no idea! I really don't have a clue but i am getting really exited about actually owning somewhere to live again, I don't want to be lifting it out of the water every like 2 year's so i would assume fibreglass? Any advice on buying and living on a boat would be very much appreciated, I look forward to reading over your input, Cheers.

Ok, Chewing over a narrowboat, A 60 footer would be ideal, Tiled shower, Woodburner, How cozy is that! cloud9 Got stuff to investigate next week, Will get back with an update, Cheers.
