Think WAY outside the box: I bought this vessel as an off-grid mobile home that has served me very well. A liftboat needs no marina or dock. just pull up wherever you have 6-1/2' of water at high tide and jack up. I've successfully kept it for a year and a half in locations where I paid nothing and walked off the boat onto a commuter train platform in NYC, as well as in scenic locations up the Hudson River where houses with the views I had cost millions. Amazingly, the USCG treats liftboats unlike anything else (and I have it in writing from them): when they're jacked up out of the water they can be used commercially even though documented recreational. I charge $5,000 per day and have no manning or inspection requirements. I can easily operate and maintain the vessel single handed.
