To buy or to charter?

Interested in a cruising / RVing retirement lifestyle for a couple. Debating whether to (1) buy a used trawler (36' $250,000 range ) or used motoryacht like those Chriscraft 1970s 42' commander around $50,000 and live aboad year round for 4 - 5 yrs and trade it in for a RV, or to cut maintenance and docking headache, just charter a trawler one month a year and spent the rest of the year RVing around the country. Which make more sense?
