I may have conceded something, but your guess is way off.
Happy fantasies!
You admitted your research couldnt find what mine did(within two days). No guessing involved, your quote is above.

Porgy, you looked at 'both' citations? There were three. Here is a forth one, https://premaberg.com/, another one that says they will cater to the specific needs of you and your boat. That some people cant afford modern hvac systems is a seperate issue. I too often feel like I deserve more in life.
But the issue is resolved, the salt content of of onboard air can be treated, just as moisture level, and other air concerns.
Your "research" discovered that on a ship, or ship sized yacht with a budget to match, anything can be done. I challenge your research ability to produce a single citation of that sort of equipment on a <80' yacht. You've been quite circumspect on the size of boat you are considering (I am assuming from your postings you are new to boating). If you are looking at a 200' custom build then asking questions here is probably a waste of everyone's time including your own.
Sorry about the "inflate and explode" jest. I thought people would see it as such. I guess I need to learn how to post the little smiling yellow dot.
I've had two years of ownership of this boat after having removed all the dehumidifying junk and keeping the boat ventilated. That got rid of the musty boat smell. I've had the same results with 40 years of boat ownership. Wood, steel, and fiberglass (this is my first fiberglass boat). The problem with relying on simple ventilation is that cracking a window or a couple little Nicro deck vents aren't going to be enough. Once it is understood that ventilation means ventilation, it works.
My grandmother had a big open back porch where she hung her laundry to dry. No gas/electric power clothes drying gadget. She was on the Washington coast in a high humidity temperate rain forest (between Ocean City and Copalis Beach). About 100 inches of rain 185 days a year. People may refuse to believe it, but her clothes always dried. No mildew, no musty smell. (smiling yellow dot) I know it works.
Got it, first you didnt believe it was true, asked for citations, you get them, then admit I found the answer to the question, then expect me to do what those companies say they can do for you and your 80' boat.
Absolutely none of that is true, and I will leave it there.
For someone who likes 20% humidity...looking at boats versus desert capable RVs seems strange to me as a cruiser/adventurer.
Every time one exits the interior of the boat and roams places mostly the point of cruising .....it involves encountering a moist ( not always salty) environment.
Good luck, this is a real study in human nature. Most boaters I know HATE being cooped up inside.
Well put, certainly he/she/it is a high functioning troll. Doubtless in the interests of brevity, you omitted to add "and a total bore".I don't post much, and have had a few beers this evening, but why, why, why, does anyone respond to JWellington's posts. He has added nothing to TF, raises totally absurd boating/trawler questions, over and over, and always antagonizes anyone that responds.
I apologize in advance, but please don't respond or answer any of his "questions" anymore. He is a troll of the highest degree and has denigrated TF too much for the high quality and informative format of discussions that can take place here. ...

I need another beer...hopefully I haven't transgressed any of the TF rules...goodnight.

so much "research" to answer a question nobody asked. a problem nobody is concerned with.
dehumidifiers discussion is worthy of a thread, but the weird salt thing? now ignored.
Nice feature in the three dots section in the corner is the ability to block and ignore individuals.
I've put it to good use in this case.
