Opinions please!
I know I'll regret this but I thought I would ask anyway - which of the adverts do you prefer?
Thank you!

Second one is much cleaner, and easier to read, plus smarter in appearance.

I looked at the thread title and thought you must be insane. At least you know it!
As an ad guy, no question the one on the right with the grey borders. Much better typeography. Can't really read the content on that one, but looking at the thumbnails makes it quite obviously a better layout, IMHO.

First one looks a bit "home made" like you did it in microsoft publisher or something.
I vote for the second one too...

Nautical eye candy in blue
The second one by virtue of it having more blue in it and looking more enticing - and it makes the boat look faster - blue shift or something ask Codders!

2nd.
But I also think that you should make a new picture with the flag on the other side, so you can see all of the boat, Or just completly remove the flag.
Regards
Rene

Second one is my preference.
Depending on what size you expect to run it, make sure the text on this one doesn't disappear. Magazines can be terrible for reproducing reversed out text in small sizes. I would take out the dark background for the text in the 'sky' area. Being optically challenged, I would also make that text a bit bigger anyway.
And I'd agree with others about getting a pic without the flag.
Good luck
Mike
