If you don't keep it up, it could be ready to sink in 5 years. We bought our 20-year-old cramped boat only without an inspection. Unlike a house, and this is the first drawback of living on a ship, energy is finite. It only lasts as long as the batteries are kept charged. Steel is a much stronger material for vehicle structures, as it is commonly used to create buildings.
They are known to last between 40 and 75 years; however, as time goes on, they can be difficult to work with. Steel boats are often of limited use, especially when it comes to larger ships. For example, container ships, since weight and height can make your ship slower. After home, buying a narrow boat is likely to be your most important (and most life-changing) financial decision.
