is
the hull
material, what is the general arrangement etc....and try to limit the
discussion to these topics until they are almost defined.  I say almost,
because they can always be revisited, but you gotta start somewhere!..."

Brian: 

In the scenario I described, it wouldn't matter which order you tackle
systems, because there are no right or wrong answers. For instance, you
mention hulls. I would contend that every possible hull is a valid
option
for the "Perfect Passagemaker," because there is no one perfect boat. Is
there a buyer for whom each possible hull type is the right answer --
sure.
There occasionally might be a case where one system affects another, but
this is rare. A discussion of nav systems is the same whether you have a
wood, FRP, steel or aluminum hull. A discussion of ground tackle is the
same, whether you have one engine or two, etc.
