Looked at a couple of Marine Traders before deciding on a Grand Banks 42. One problem they all had was wet stringers. The were almost always 100% moisture reading. Maybe the engine room is so clean because the stringers were replaced. One of the boats had a jet pump system for the bow thruster, they are easier to install and to maintain. Did not seem as effective but did work good. Happy motoring.
I have a 43 Marine Trader Sundeck 1985 with twin 135 Lehmans. I envy the neatness and organization of your engine room and solar power, something for me to shoot for. Congratulations to you and the wife.
