I actually had a coworker in the US that bought a boat and lives on it. I get the feeling that his social life is mostly unchanged. Most of us thought it was foolhardy and a little weird, but that was fine. We saw him go through quite a learning curve, one being that he can't live in it during the winter so he has to stay in a hotel. It's also quite expensive to buy and maintain and unlike houses I don't think that the value of boats increase. He's lost some luxuries like TV and wifi. My general feeling is that he probably wouldn't do it again if he could do it over, but he's made it work.
