That is pretty small and not considered a liveaboard size. As long as you are taking your time right now, consider that you will also want to be comfortable. Ten feet is impractical, I think.

Although too big has another problem. Yearly maintenance should be figured at about 10% of the value of the boat. Also, larger boats need more gas, and you should always try to keep your gas as full as possible so it doesn't slosh around on the water. This can stir up particulates in the fuel tank and clog your fuel filter.

So yes, big/small - they all have their advantages/disadvantages

Also, make sure that you won't need to pay dock fees or if there are places to just put your boat in. Dock fees can be pretty high. Just a few more things to look into. But, now that you are hooked up with people that sail, I won't worry so much about it. :)

Probably not as much impractical as much my current rent financially. Not to mention the cold winter climate of my country (Hungary).

But of course I would look for a boat more close to 20 feet than 10 feet. I also read that a liveaboard is at least 30 feet. That is also okay, but a boat like that probably cost much more than $1000 USD.

Yes. Doing that for free would be the best.

Yes. I heard someone from the USA, who pay $150 USD per month for that. This amount is actually very cheap for him, but for me it is nearly my current monthly rent.

I give you some !PIZZA and some !LUV.

Have a nice day and have a nice weekend.
All the best. Greetings from Hungary.
