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.

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).

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.
