We charter the newest and largest boat we can find at this stage. If one item were going to make a difference for us it would be a watermaker. If we were in a location, Maine for and example, were new boats were not the norm. I would want to know when all interior fabrics were last swapped out. Not all five year old boats are created equal.

Does the boat look and feel fresh, clean, and new'ish or tired and dingy? Maybe good bright pictures can help with that first impression.
