Agree LIAT is a royal PAIN, but that might be why you don’t see the concentration of charter boats there as “Leave 6:00 am arrive by noon” destination.

Your comments on second, third …. Tier boats is unfair. Older boats are well – Older boats and are chartered at a reduced rate because they’re Older Boats.

On inspection they bring everything that’s obvious up to acceptable levels – But it’s still a seasoned boat and without a crystal ball you have no idea what might fail in the next 10 minutes.

If it doesn’t work when you picked it up then shame on them. If something fails later – well it’s not a 1st tier boat and some inconvenience although regrettable should be tolerable. All depends on how it’s handled.

For what it’s worth I fix old boats for a living
