Boat loan financing, who did you use?

Post by cib11b »

Looking to buy a new/used boat in a few months. Ive got a budget of 26k. I have excellent credit and am wondering who you guys used to finance your boat through? Interest rates, term in mo's etc. Any help, and or advice?

Boat financing is high interest rate even with good credit. I have excellent credit and it was still high. What I did to get credit lower is soldo truck to my wife (she wasn't on truck). I took that loan money and bought a boat. The payment is still a payment but 2.49 percent interest on a truck loan is better than 7 percent on a boat any day.

I have considered this, however my wife does not work and we just purchased a brand new vehicle. I don't believe we have enough "equity" in the vehicle. I have seen US Bank offer 4.75%, however I have not sit and talked with them yet. Just wanted to get a feel on what people have good and bad experience with.

I used travis credit union but did it for my truck. If they give you anything in the 4% area that is good in a boat. Most banks take another .5 percent off if you do direct deposit/electronic payment.
