Although there are many people who have the money to pay the extra cost to have the fancy boat with all the upgrades, not everyone is like that. When I had to pay to charter a boat I looked at price as my #1 factor and then tried to get the nicest boat I could at the cheapest price, so I agree with jagmansr in saying that there is a pool of people who are looking to go on the cheap (inexpensive). Was thinking simply about luxury when I last posted but a would definitely get the best chart plotter you can buy. Appealing to a charterer and benefits you as well!
