If you can afford it, go for it! Just remember that experienced boaters regard their loves as money pits. (This doesn't include likely depreciation on the boat itself.) If you run the #s -- and I have -- you end up spending more than what a 40' boat costs by Year #3 in terms of dock fees, insurance, maintenance, etc., etc. It's not the boat that's expensive, but the ongoing non-equity costs to keep her afloat.
That having been said, I will be doing liveaboard in the Bahamas starting within the next few years if all goes according to plan. (Already own the property.) Here's a great website:

Think of it as the 6speed equivalent for liveaboarders. If you bite the bullet, please keep a post!
Best,
DAVID
