Yes you can IF it has a head. I don't know if a shower is also required, but I don't think so.

Many folks write them off as a second home.

How about heat?

I would think that living on a boat in the winter would be pretty miserable... Especially a repeat of what we dealt with this year.

The portable electric heater he has for the trailer would heat a boat.

Yes, it's a depreciating asset. I understand that. I also understand the amount of upkeep/cost involved with a boat- 100x's more than a house. But 'd have something in five years.

AND as my residence, I believe I could write any interest off just like a standard home.
building equity in a depreciating asset...

are you going to live out of your car?

You can do that even if its not your residence. Boat loans are considered the same as a mortgage to the tax man.
