Much is known and very public about boat ownership in the new boat fleets like the Moorings and many other BVI operators mentioned here on TTOL.

What is the difference for a an ownership when you place a boat with one of the operators listed above or known to the BVI TTOL crowd? Are the boats just as clean, well maintained, or other that actually matters to vacation family? Does the owners do better or worse financially with the lower asset values in the "2nd Tier" fleets? The depreciation hit is massive on a brand new boat. The depreciation should level out at some point? When do the fleets push boats out in the ProValor style of operation?
