Does that EB stand for East Bay? Beautiful boat, BUT...... RU planning to live year round up here? Knew a guy who did that in a 50 SR Dancer. He gave his wife the house in the divorce and he took the boat . He spent about 30K installing a diesel fired heating system, lived in a marina where there were a few workers during the day and nobody but him and a few acres of shrinkwrapped boats at night. He had water only when it didn't freeze, and I assume he discharged overboard. It didn't last long. Living aboard isn't all it's cracked up to be and a 54 EB (although a great vacation cruiser) could generate some cabin fever after a few months. Also, check zoning laws. Most areas of Long Island have banned liveaboards.
