Hello. I am looking to try out living aboard a boat (narrow boat or dutch barge) before commiting to buying one. Does anyone have a boat they would like to rent out? Or perhaps someone looking to sell who would be prepared to let me rent first for say a period of 3 months? I'm 100% genuine about wanting to live afloat but just feel I need to test the water first. Thanks for any advice/offers/leads or help. Best M
