Wife has interview tomorrow, I have seen sooooo many people get themselves in over there head the last few years with the work situaution being poor. I happen to be in a career where when im working I make great money.... but my trade has taken a big hit over the last 3 years. I have never bin laid off personally so I believe I will be ok, but as you see my wife just got hit by Johns hopkins hospital of all companys, with the poor economy bug. Better safe then sorry, when I hear that she is hired ill fill out the application and buy the boat. I wish I was rich but unfortunately im just a regular guy like the rest of us.

You got that right! $1200-1300 fill-ups here. And CNN reported today that if the US ends up in a conflict with Iran, the price of a barrel of oil could jump from just over $100 a barrel (currently) to $200 a barrel. Are we ready for $2,000 to $2,500 fill ups?

Back to the thread. I've never heard of a finance company turning down an applicant solely due to the brand of boat, although I did run into some resistance with insurance companies when I mentioned I was buying a Fountain, claiming the "performance" issue (yeah, even a 38EC). Also I've heard of some finance companies requiring that the boat be less than 10 years old.

My suggestion is, don't waste your time dealing with any finance company that gives you a negative response. There's too many other avenues. Bottom line, if you want it bad enough, you'll find a way. Good luck.

I understand your frustration, but you are giving free help on an internet forum. Ya, it turned out to be a waste of time in the short term, but just because he is doing his homework and not reacting fast enough for your standards is no reason to attack the guy. I do homework for a day then make my move, others do it for years before they move.

For the record all my hair was the same length in that pic but the sides were pulled back behind my ears. I understand YOUR frustration you don't have sweet hair.

No but he has a really sweet profile pic that could've been pirated from any site. So we all have to take it seriously...

My 1999 342 is financed with US Bank. They did 90% of NADA August of 2010.
