Age of your boat?

[got seashells?]

Hubbie (AKA Captain) and I are going to have a discussion this evening about the Max age of a boat that we should be considering. I am of the opinion that age is not as important as quality and upkeep. This will be for a full time live aboard cruiser that we expect to be on for no less than 5 years and mostly through the Caribbean.

this is a link to one that I would like to put on the potential list that he is not comfortable with but only due to its age. https://moreboats.com/boats/tayana/55/56550

so I am asking what the age of your boat is and if that is a big factor in your purchasing requirements.
