Yep, try credit unions.

I bought a 96 last year, got a fair rate, 0 down on NADA value + a little more for trailer. It took me a ton of looking and rejections, but I had documented income, and great credit. Actually, if I wasn't pushing the edge of debt/income and working in the auto industry it would have been much easier.

People who can't get financing are either credit risks, or not looking/working hard enough to find it.

We have as much fun boating in the Sutphen as we did in the Cigarette F-2 @ a FRACTION of the cost.

When I see the market on boats for the last 2 years I'm glad I dumped the Cigartte when I did.
My insurance on it doubled after the last hurricane to over $8,000. In today's market it's probably worth half of what I got for it, & I took a pretty good hit when I sold it back then.

The Sutphen is cheap to keep & keeps on tickin for cheap money. It's a lot of bang for the buck!

Can't buy new if ya can't sell used.

Yep

Sure you can, thats why people accept trades.

One thing I've noticed is it seems there are a lot of people with big boats that are willing to take on more trades, especially if its a smaller boat with less maintenance.

I notice you have 6 boats in your avatar. So have you ever tried trading a boat for a new one. I have a good idea what I can buy a new boat for if its a cash deal. A trade ends up just playing with numbers and is no where close to a cash deal. Really just common sense.

Maybe if you have a loan and plan on borrowing money, then its "what's my monthly payment going to be". I pay cash.

4 boats, not 6. Yes I have traded a used boat for new one. Makes things very easy. Boat was a POS and they gave me more than a fair trade. The new boat price was not adjusted up. So are we done comparing johnsons?

Yes
Have a good fourth!
