Actually, living on a boat can have tax implications. It depends on local laws, but often, if the boat is your primary residence, you might get some tax deductions.

I bet the maintenance alone on these things is a nightmare. Not to mention the constant fear of sinking.

Living on a houseboat could totally align with my remote work lifestyle. Thanks for the detailed guide, Jonathan. Safety and legal requirements were my top concerns.

Surely, those designed for cruising possess a superior build quality and are thus capable of withstanding harsher marine conditions, wouldn’t you agree?

Living on the water has its own vibe, yeah? I’ve been sailing for years but never thought of a houseboat as something to take seriously. Pontoon houseboats seem cool. How do they handle in rougher water, you think?
