The other option is a home equity loan.

The thing that most people miss is having the loan secured by the vessel.

That is good to know. I thought you had to have running water which IMO is pointless in the cabin of a speedboat.

Seems like a really good option for Fouyntain to add to their larger boats. My 27 only has the bench and a bed and thats all I would ever use!

I mean does anyone actually use all that stuff in the cabin??? I only go in the cabin to ^%#* and sleep. Don't need any sinks, tv, microwaves, fans.>>>> Just more crap to break.

I am getting ready to make a loan on the difference between my 27 and a 35, do I need to do anything different to take the deduction at the time of making the loan. :evilb:

No you do it on your taxes at the end of the year granted your boat meets the above requirements.

If you have a loan on your boat and your boat meets the requirements about (sleeping, eating, crapping) you can write off the interest you pay on the loan as interest on a secondary residence (just as you write off the interest you pay on your mortgage).

Does a 29 fall in that category?

If you've got the stuff mentioned in the prior post you'll be in good shape.

To be sure, you should check with your tax attorney.
