I did this last week and had no problems when filling out my return.

I was also able to included the sales tax paid. I believe they took which ever was higher, the sales tax or state income tax paid?? In my case the sales tax was higher.

I do know that under a conventional loan the boat does have to qualify and supposidly you have to spend x many number of nights a year on it but who would know.
Check it out for yourself. My 2cents worth.

You are supposed to use the equity loan for improvements to qualify for the interest deduction. Although most still deduct it anyway.
