Given our planned usage, please tell everyone what the Swan
would do
for us that the 35s5 won't.

Real Teak!!!

Big deal. My boat has real solid teak. It's a pain to keep
oiling it. I think that plastic coated veneer fake teak is
better.

If it's below decks, you might try varnishing it.

Depends on what you like. I have teak plugs over the s/s screws in the teak.
I like to be able to access anypart of the boat. If that entails removal of
some teak... it's far simpler and less damaging to remove the plug on oiled
teak than on teak with 10 layers of varnish. Oiling teak is a simple
effective method to maintain wood with a nice effect. Varnished glossy
interiors belong on vessels where the work is done primarily by the yard or
hired out.

Varnish is *always* better done by someone else. g

In retrospect... there's a lot to be said about the simplicity of a Windex
wipe and a spray of pledge. Seriously though..... Ozone has us all beat for
bullet proof interiors.

Yeah, he can go inside with a power washer and simply hose er

MacGregor brags about that feature on their X boats.
