my credit score is low of 690 high of 725, can you help me? me e-mail is [email protected] get back to me as soon as you can the money is burning a hole in my wifes pocket. if i
do not buy a boat this year she will have me putting in a pool.
either way i get a hole in the water i guess, but the boat is my vice so to speak. thanx tim mcmanus

Right now for high performance if your score is lower than 725 there are no sources for financing currently.

Also - banks will be looking for at LEAST 20% and possibly 30% down.

What other boats are you considering?

Wow this thread is showing the sign of the times for sure..... 5 years ago lenders were fighting with each other to give money away now it is a closed pocketbook!

DaveP this statement may hurt your wallet short term but may help you long term.....BANKS SHOULDN'T LOAN MONEY ON DEPRECIATING ASSETS OVER LONG PERIODS OF TIME ! ! !

Atleast cars/trucks last 10 years so if they get paid for in 5 you can still run them another 5. Boats have short life spans compared to cars/trucks, are less usable and depreciate quicker.....

With the proper down payment and accurate value determined on the collateral long periods of time is not an issue

Do high performance owners default more often than say...blowboaters? I've never understood the banks reluctance with performance. Same with insurance. I see a lot more runabout accidents than hi perf.Most of the people I know that drop this much coin on a boat know how to handle it well and are very conscientious.

High Performance boaters don't necessarily default more than other boats but when they do go bad they are usually in the worst condition and also tend to be missing drives and the engines require rebuilds as they are "tired" or blown up.

So.....the banks percieve it as a much high risk collateral because it takes alot of $$$ to maintain a performance boat than it does a Sea Ray.

This is why most banks today will not finance a performance boat. As of right now the only NATIONAL lenders that will still entertain performance boats is my company Essex Credit / Bank of the West.

SunTrust = No
Bank of America = No
Colonial Bank = No
Provident = No
M&T Bank = No
US Bank = No

Oh, and I thought RPM had financing available? That is a bad ass boat, why not just get an HO package to start wtih, and then add a blower or Raylar package to up the power later if it was too costly overall?
Good luck.

Also, your credit seems OK, is it the income to debt ratio that is killing the deal?
even if i go bare minimum with 496 the boat is 96k, all of steves finance guys he works with say that there is like 2 banks for cat loans and you have to walk on water to be able to get any money, that is the boat i want but it looks like it is not happening so i will have to settle for less, i found a demo 30y2k superboat for 65k and still no better! help
