How are you planning to handle Internet access on the boat?
Starlink being the ultimate solution is still probably years away for ocean coverage.

I've only really scratched the surface of what it would take to move onto a boat full time, but my impression is that the vast majority of boat dwellers have a permanent slip in a harbor where they spend the majority of their time. Given that, depending on location Starlink might be practical sooner. (Although as a land dweller who owns some rural property I'd like to make better use of, I'm getting a little tired of living on Elon time.)
