Theses “ younger “ plastic fantastic FB boats as well as somewhere on the depreciation curve are also more subjectivity somewhere else on the style + fashion curve as times change .Surely younger means higher rate of depreciation, as well as starting from a higher price.
So a double whammy as regards total value lost in depreciation.
Where as the older depreciated out classic timeless Italian ( ok ones a Dutch Hessen ) stuff suggested never really lose there aesthetic appeal imho .
They , the U.K. Brit boats also build quality wise are not a patch on the Italian boats .
I mean a sq 58 compared to a Alalunga , Heesen , Moria , San Lorenzo et al .
All the above have real teak , no veneers and the head linings were fit a and forget item at build along with many back room components .
A €200 K 20m Moria ( show. ^^ earlier ) and “ younger “ a sq 58 for double are incomparable quality and durability wise .
The cheaper places tend to be cheap for a reason as do the pricey places .
Crime , misquotes , accessibility ( remember flying in I mentioned) , shore side back up , shore side amenities point jointventurells ^^ made all enter the mix .
They make the difference between heaven + living hell , just existing on a boat in the Med .
