Any idea on the life of a boat that has been in fresh water when
compared to that of a boat in salt water?

Will risers last that much longer

Altenators?

Generator?

Stuffing boxes?

Is there going to be a significant advantage? I know the answer but
want to hear what others think

Freshwater is always the best option.

That's usually the feeling here.
A good fresh water boat would be more desirable. I drove 2400km round trip
inland just to pick up my sailboat in 2004

Back in 1993 I moved from my native Gothenburg on the Swedish
west coast to Stockholm on the Baltic side of Sweden. I was
very impressed by how shiny and new looking all metal fittings
were on boats in marinas in Stockholm. "Those guys must spend
quite some time polishing things" Later I realized this is how
benign the almost fresh water of the Baltic is compared to
the Atlantic (almost) brine of the west coast.

Welcome, Martin.

I once rode my motorcycle from Gothenburg to Stockholm. It was a very
boring ride. But both Gothenburg and Stockholm were gorgeous cities to
visit.

As a general rule, fresh water is always a preferred option over salt
water boats. Having said that, a good boat is a good boat and if
properly maintained and stored over winter, a good salt water boat is
the equal of a fresh water boat.

It all depends on your requirements and pocket book. A fresh water
boat will bring a premium as opposed to a salt water boat. Thus,
looked at logically, if all things are equal, the good, sound salt
water boat will be a tad less expensive than it's opposite which is a
positive.

Welcome, Martin.

Been hanging out here since late 1980s but thanks anyway.

There are several routs between Gothenburg and Stockholm. If you
just followed the signs you got the boring one.

That's what we did. We'd come up from Stuttgart for a rally and didn't have
time to waste.
