I bought one as they were much cheaper 15 years ago , now you have to have a residential morning so also have to pay council tax . Every couple of years you have to get it out of the water to be repainted , also costs for emptying sewage tanks etc . I would recommend taking a bike down to a bit of water and talking to boat dwellers , most will happily talk and give you loads of info . Also hiring one for a week or two is very informative
