I just recently went through this whole process and the financing was a PITA. I put 50% down have a credit score in the 800’s and have liquid assets. The biggest problem was not ever having a boat loan before and therefore not having similar loan experience. Age will also be a factor, it will be tough to finance anything over 20 years old, mine was 15 years old and had to do a little shopping to make it happen. Insurance for my 2005 Tiara 3800 is about $2,200 a year through Geico / Boat Us and maintenance is still TBD since I am still fixing her up from her last owner : having said all of that….1000% worth it to have my own boat and the memories that are to come with friends and family this summer. Good luck and PM me if you have any questions.
