I have a loan but my house is almost paid for and my bussiness is totally paid for so personally I would rather invest than pay for a boat cash also I'm 1.99 % years 1 to 2 and 2 to 20 3.49% so interest is minamal

You can get a 20 yr to qualify and pay it off in 5,10,15 if there is no prepayment penalty. Just figure your payments at whatever term you want to pay early and put a note in each month stating you want the extra money to go to principle. No need to switch term, you may need the extra money if things get tough. :cool: Also, you can deduct the interest off Fed Taxes if the boat qualifies for living quarters and you overnight 14 day per year, just as you write off home loan interest.

Paid cash for mine. Money came from an inheritance.
Using part of that money may not have been the right thing, but it did keep me from having to sell it come the divorce. Florida law says that anything purchased with a personal inheritance or money earned before we were married, is mine.

I cant buy the argument that having liguidity for investments can return dividends high enough to compensate for depreciation and interest on a boat loan. You would have to make 20% on your money to break even.
