That's what I thought. Didn't know if someone was actually writing 30 year marine loans. You never know these days. With 40 year mortgages and talk of 50 year notes......all bad signs for the economy.

I can get you 25-30 yrs., but it's tough to get for a performance hull...you wouldn't be buying a big cruser would you?

Re: boat financing
 
I'm wondering do any lenders who cater to the marine market finance boats for commercial purpose (eg a parasail boat) I'm looking into purchasing an additional boat and adding a location to our business in NC. I know pleasure boats financed through marine lenders give you great rates and great terms, I just hate the thought of dealing with a lender who has no clue about boats and trying to get a business equipment loan to pay for a $135,000 boat. I'm just wondering if any of the minds here have some insight on this.

The business here is only really 4-5 months a year so the longer terms would allow more flexible cash flow options. Most operators simply pay thier payments for 5 years or so and then sell the boat and finance a new one. Having a coast guard inspection and diesel power a well maintained boat holds its value extremely well and there is a huge market for used boats with a COI.

Sorry, none of my banks would do a commercial boat.
