Robin Harris

Fantastic service!!

Re: Boat Financing
 

Our rates TODAY (not last month) and without any BS points. Dealers can often do better because you are buying down the rate you pay in the price you pay for the boat.

$75K-$199K 5.99% -you can take off .25% from the rate for 720+ beacon score

$200K + 5.75% minus the above deductions AND if you are 750+ beacon take off another .25% for the best rate today of 5.25%

Rates good for 180 months up to 100K and over 100 up to 240 months.

Re: Boat Financing
 

Nick, Did you find something you like yet ???

Re: Boat Financing
 

Friday I just got 5.48% from Essex for 15 years 50K

Re: Boat Financing
 

Well, I've found that there's a LOT out there that I LIKE, few that I can afford, and a couple out of those that I would consider making an offer on. ;)

Now I need to start getting financing together so that I can make the best deal.

Gotta move mine first, or trade it...


Thanks for the info, guys! :)

Re: Boat Financing
 

Who's that with, Von Bongo?

Re: Boat Financing
 

Sweet, did you find a boat you liked?

Re: Boat Financing
 

I sent people to Essex for a long time. I have found that the service (After the fact) is better at NewCoast.
Jodi actually knows offshore boats, delivery options and understands the documentation process.

Re: Boat Financing
 

Key bank would be the ultimate holder of the loan and we use Marine Title as our closing company.

Re: Boat Financing
 

doin a deal now w/ brokaw out of ft laud...4.5 fix for 3yrs 20am schedule

Re: Boat Financing
 

Well Nick, since I already owe you two beers, and possibly four, there's at least six bucks towards the new ride....Russ

Re: Boat Financing
 

4.85% at essex 1 month ago. That was for a 15 year term.

Re: Boat Financing
 

More thanks, guys! Looks like there are some good options here! :)

Russ, that's a start alright! That should be enough for down pmt! :D ;)

Re: Boat Financing
 

I'm going to give some of these other players a try as well..I've been approved by one lender but at a 3% orig fee and another lender, First Commercial Corp., wouldn't touch it.. I have a 770 beacon and they denied me without any real reason.. Steer clear of them...They're misleading and very unprofessional..They advertise a lot and brag on their 45 years in business but it's hard for me to believe they've survived this long...

Re: Boat Financing
 

Kenny in FL set us up like no tomorrow on the Tiger, excellent service thru and thru.

Re: Boat Financing
 

I ended up choosing Harris.

Robin is super nice, I got an answer in less than two hours(on a Friday :) ) and the rate was very competitive.

Re: Boat Financing
 

Just getting pre-approved or did you find something that you liked ??

Re: Boat Financing
 

Nick, you are the 3rd person I have referred her way in 3 weeks. All have come back with great results.

Thanks Adam/Thunder32 for sending ME her way.

Re: Boat Financing

Re: Boat Financing/ Boat Loans
 

I haven't put a post up for a while and I had the pleasure of talking to one of the members today! So here I am!

I've got a fantastic deal going on right now for a purchase or refi on boats 20 years old or newer. The rate of 4.9% is available for financing of $100k or more. This bank is okay with high performance (RARE), but they do like high credit scores. If you are at 675 or higher (credit score - if you don't know, don't worry!) it would be worth your while to give me a call. Payment on $100k at the 4.9% is $655 per month. That's fully amortized over 20 years.

That bank is having specials on smaller deals, too... call me! They are very competitive right now.

Also, I am also more than happy to talk to anyone about what is involved and what is required when financing a boat. Call me!

Thanks!

Re: Boat Financing
 

I just re-financed my boat with Bank of The West. 5.2% fixed, 20 years, no points or costs. Easy to deal with! Bank of The west is the parent Company of Essex. Good Luck, I can't beleive that they can lock in a rate like this for 20 years! Of course, who keeps a boat that long?

Re: Boat Financing
 

Todays rates are:

40-74,999 5.79% for 180 mo
75-99,999 5.25% for 180 mo
100-199,999 5.25 for 240 mo
and above 200K 4.99 for 240 mo.

Re: Boat Financing
 

Just imagine...............240 x $$$..............THAT'S 20 YEARS!!!
I know, one can always bail out one way or another. :eek: :rolleyes:

Re: Boat Financing
 

Is it not interesting that the more money they loan you, the lower the rate gets :rolleyes:

Re: Boat Financing
 

Costs just as much time and effort to make a loan, service it , follow up for insurance, post payments, send tax statements and so on for a $10,000 loan as it does for a loan of $100,000.

Look at it as a volume discount.

Re: Boat Financing
 

I like volume discounts :D :D

Re: Boat Financing
 

Good Info!
I'll call you Monday, Jodi.

Re: Boat Financing
 

Here's a financing tip: Buy a boat for which you can pay cash or find a hobby you can afford without going into debt.

Re: Boat Financing
 

what did you buy Cappy

Re: Boat Financing
 

:eek: Do a Home Equity Line at 4.25% and it's deductible!!!

Re: Boat Financing
 

Can anyone finance a Canadian? Not a lot of lenders that I have spoken with over here that like to finance a boat longer than 7 years. That can make payments quite large!

Re: Boat Financing
 

I spoke to my tax guy about this. The boat loan intrest is also deductible as a second home. The boat need's to have a cooking surface, ie. range, microwave. It also needs to have a head.

Re: Boat Financing
 

Works for some, but I don't think I'd want my house and boat tied together financially.
