I’ve never owned a boat in my life and now that I live near the sea I would love to own a small boat to travel along the coast from one city to another.

I have no experience with boats so that’s why I would love to hear some advice if you have any.

Would you recommend a used one or a new one?

And should I get a sailing boat or a motorboat and what type would you recommend? I don’t think I’ll have enough means to get a boat with a room inside, unless it’s relatively cheap.

And is learning how to navigate a sailing boat a long process?

      What falls into the “fucks” category that I might lease…?

        If you have to ask, you can’t afford it

        You gotta find one of those rent-to-own joints & get yourself a couple of fancy couch cushions…

        Just make sure someone else didn’t rent them first.

      Related to that, and a line that just stuck with me: A boat is a hole in the water that you pour money into.
