I did lightstream. 3% rate and I have title. It's a signature loan that you are required to put towards loan intent such as boat. You pay cash for boat then pay that cash back no collateral attached. If I ever sell my boat I have title in hand.

Light stream is quick and easy but hard to get a good interest rate unless your credit is amazing, i bout a boat and financed for 4 years with them and the interest rate was a 9 with a 737 credit score. The deal was was the boat was out of state and a credit union or bank wont finance it unless the guy would come down with the boat so i financed it with them then brought it home and refinanced it with neighbors credit union for a 5%

Did you have to pay any fees to refinance the boat?

That is who mine is through. I think my rate my be a little better than 5% but I bought brand new. No complaints, I actually had my old truck with them also, but just bought a new one but they wouldn't come down to the rate that the dealer's broker got me.

I went to my State Farm agent, really good rates (better than the dealer and my wife's credit union) for my last 2 boats, both new. And, he financed the boats that I sold, so they will do both new & used.


Ditto I used State Farm.

My son bought a 2017 H20B Xpress from Bent's and that's who his financing went through. He's 20 and I want to say his rate was 5%.
