To seriously consider buying a houseboat rather than a house?

Has anyone got any experience of living long term on a houseboat/Dutch barge?

I have always loved the idea of living on water, and have a couple of acquaintances who've owned houseboats (one loved it, one left after a couple of years due to the cold!)

I would never be able to afford even a flat in the south east, but a houseboat might be a possibility. I know mortgages are harder to get, and of course there are mooring fees etc, but... I guess what I'm asking is, is it a pie in the sky idea, or potentially do-able?

Bumping a zombie thread to advertise...

However I'm now wondering if the OP ever moved to a houseboat Grin
