hi all! my name is nathaniel, im 14 and own a 1978 bayliner buccaneer 275 that restoring to livaboard in two years while going to marine trade school, and working as a sailmaker. i know its just another blog about some livaboard person blah blah blah! wrong! im trying to make this into a site to help fellow sailors, and share my story about finding a boat to livaboard. i know 27 feet is bigger than a 24 footer but its still small. i have no refridgeratior, or oven, no pantry, no bath tub, and only hand pumped water, i will have to live off of 30 galons of water for showers, washing dishes, cleaning, and any other water use. my bed is a bit longer than 6 feet. my desk is my table, my table is about 3 1/2 feet long, and my galley is is only a few feet long and about 2 feet wide. my stove is a 2 burner colman camp stove. i have a stand in shower, and a porta poti. i have a head room of 6'1. and a beem of 8 feet a draft of 27 inches yes 27 inches no center board. just 27 inches of lead. iv got a non working volvo penta, and a brand new mercury 9.9 outboard long shaft with electric start. i have 1 deep cycle battery, and a shore power hook up, i also plan on getting a small gas Generator that i can use in the cockpit if i lose power or am anchored out.
i have no hot water so i will use a camp stove to heat up water. i have a small cabin sole heater that runs off of 120 volt shore power to get the boat up to 50 deg in the winter and i plan on getting a propane heater, for the summer i have a small fan, and im going to wire more, i also plan on geting a "window" air conditioner that wil be mounted on its own drop board.
