Power is also a concern (at least for sailboats). While there are certainly other 12v computers, that is one of the pluses for rPi in this.

I've worked extensively with NXP's IMX6 hardware installed on carrier boards from a few different vendors. If you're looking for something bulletproof for long-term installation, I'd definitely recommend looking through their product lines.

Seco: https://edge.seco.com/usa/ and Variscite: https://www.variscite.com/products/system-on-module-som/?cpu... are two of the vendors I've worked with and had great experiences with.
