10 year loan on a 22k boat for 175 a month paid off in 6 years.
but that isn’t what you did.

You do you, but don’t change the narrative.

He is doing him. You are worried about him.

No not at all.

I think it is foolish to finance 22k for 10 years. You use the term worried.

A guy commented that he thought my idea of boat financing was crazy, I dont think he is worried. He has an opinion, he expressed it.

This thread makes me believe I can afford a nice boat.

840 credit and ended with around a 3% note. Put 25% down. Unnoticeable note and super reasonable storage unit.

That said, we didn’t go for the Yellowfin, Shearwater, Contender, etc. We stayed reasonable with a solid mid-tier boat for functional reasons for purchase.

Ours is through a local credit union.

Yeah boat financing is pretty easy. Rates aren’t quite as low as auto rates but they’re close (add a point or 2). I’ve financed several for people at 8, 10, and 12 years.

With rates so low you could finance $45k over 10 years, have a manageable note, and only about $8k in interest (over the life of the loan). I get the argument about not financing a depreciating asset, and not financing it for a long time, but with rates so low it makes it much more bearable.

I'm not changing the narrative. You just arguing. I'm stating how a 10yr loan paid off in 6 is a good deal.

My boat is paid for and never once was I in a bind.

Also with reclending if the boat is less than 7yrs old you can get a 2yr engine warranty for a couple grand
