Best Company/Credit Union etc for Boat Financing
Hello All,
Moved here from the mountains of Colorado to be near and on the water. Looking to purchase a live-aboard size boat. Have found one for $25K and want to finance it. Live in Jacksonville, FL. Any suggestions on best boat loan/financing company? Also any good suggestions on who to go through for insurance? Tried Geico - my auto company and no go...
Thanks Folks!

A lot of people do what I did - just go to a local credit union. That way they can put a face with a name/SS#. It worked out really well with me and I was able to finance 100% over the term I wanted (admittedly during more credit fluid times).
Don't forget that on 25k that the rate isn't OVERLY important in the grand scheme of things.
INSURANCE - ALOT of people on here, including myself are using Stacy Shute (member: WakezoneINS) if it is a high performance boat. Not sure whether she does "other" stuff or not.....
Good Luck....

I caught them late when I got my new boat but Kyle gave me a very competitive quote as a check.
Very flexible competitive company.
