So all these older cigs for sale would all have to be cash buyers? The banks are not loaning on older boats at all?
I feel like trading on the latter helped me out when I bought mine. Several of the guys on here that finance weren't interested in helping me because of my age/lack of history, but I went to a local place and they were great about it. |

I don't know but I would think you could find some financing on the older ones still - if you put some skin in the game yourself, and possibly if you went local and they could put a name with a face.

Solid down payment, local financing, reasonable terms (reasonable is not 20 years on a 15 year old boat), excellent credit and the documentable ability to pay it back... Seems like old times. |

A friend of mine JUST bought a 1996 Top Gun, with nice 600's, Bravo's, a triple axle trailer, & in nice shape, for $65k. The bank he used preapproved him, and he was able to finance it with no problem. Just fyi purposes :cool: |

Steve if GA is still around next month I maytake it off your hands and race it a few times this season
Bobby is a good throttleman & has a lot of seat time in GA. If you buy it & want to race with him I'll chip in some $ for the team. I know a marina in Jersey that may be a sponsor also |

So now I'm wondering...are the T/S boats taking the same beating? I knew the flat bottoms are hard to sell. Takes just too much hp to make em go. Prob have my 00 T/S Gun up for sale end of season.
Was hoping to get just over 100k. Less than 200 hours with fresh power. As far as the financing. Multiple guys in my area have had no problem getting financing on late 90's early 2000's boats with no money down. GE Credit has been awesome to deal with for us. Takes good credit though.... |
