If you were given a choice between a fancy boat or a fancy car, which would you pick? You can't sell either. (kbin.social)

can the boat be a houseboat and conversley can the car be an RV?

This is important; if I live on the houseboat then that seems like an obvious answer but if I can't, I'll get far more use out of a car. A boat is just a logistics problem unless it's where I live.

On the other hand, it seems like it would be much easier, when necessary, to hook an RV up to electrical, water, and sewer services, as compared to a houseboat. I guess you could have a deionized water pump, but those are super slow, like on the order of a tablespoon an hour slow. And, anyway, I suspect it's not kosher to just poop off the railing.

I figure that there are maintenance and utility hookups for boats, just like there are for RVs. After all, plenty of boats cannot be reasonably removed from the water.

A friend of mine lived on his boat with his girlfriend and their cat. Moored in Seattle. Cost him a third of my rent for moorage + showers + wifi + hookups.

You can modify them however you like with your own funds!

And Yep fancy RV and fancy houseboat counts

Okay and can we let people rent/charter them in exchange for money?

ok I will take car then which in my case would be a decked out 4 wheel drive sportsmobile. Im tempted to choose a super yacht but even for free I likely could not afford to upkeep it. You would need to pay a crew. Anything small enough boat wise to afford and I would rather have the sportsmobile.

Oh shit good question. Tricked out RV wins the day for me if that's an option.
