Try a credit union. We went through Breezy Point Credit Union and did not have a problem, but our boat is a 2004. Credit Unions usually are easier for boat loans then a bank. Good luck.

Yup. Credit union. I am through OUR CU in Royal Oak.

you could always do a signature loan on it.

unsecured loan. Rates may be a little higher.

HELOC, Refi with cash back may be other options.

I am using Linda Ramirez at Essex credit corp.
Her number is 925-843-3119
Email is [email protected]
They give special rates if you are a Costco card holder. I am getting a 5.6% interest rate on a 1993 formula.

If you don't have something you can use as collateral to borrow 10k or get it on a signature, then IMO you should not be buying a 26 year old boat.

There are very little to none bank lenders that will give a $10k loan on a boat that old....

powerqrudy 08-12-2012 01:33 PM

Yea Griff, I can take it out of my savings but would rather not..

Thanks for the input.

Lots of banks offer personal lines of credit with variable interest rates. They are like a Heloc without putting up your house as collateral. The interest rate will probably be around 10%. You just have to pay the interest each month and then pay whatever you want toward the principal.

altamate 08-13-2012 02:32 AM

Why would anyone want to pay 10% interest. It may only be on $10,000, but still that's way to high.

powerqrudy 08-13-2012 05:19 AM

What i was thinking was to get a loan for it and use the quarters from my machines to pay it weekly.

My weekly drop off would go into a account then the loan gets taken out on a monthly basis.

Have a good Monday guys!
