Yes, but the charter fleet boat may well have more wear and tear on it than a privately owned model ten years older.

I don't know if I would buy an ex charter boat, but would not automatically rule one out.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
