I don't feel like it's my job to classify my boat to a lender (or insurance company for that matter). They have all the serial numbers, Hull ID, etc. They should set their own policies on what they will lend on or insure and for how much. If they don't know any better they should be in the business.
I have 6%.

If I remember correctly US Bank would do up to 15 yrs and 90% of NADA. Can be tricky. Some loan depertments will not take trailers, options and engine upgrades into account. I put almost 40% down and had to have it documented. I've also had 4 boat loans with them over the last 12 years. I think that helps me too. I went with 15 yr because I know I will not keep it that long and rates weren't but 1% better for a 5 yr term.
Dan,
there is quite a difference between my "cruiser" and your rocket.
