Default Refinancing

I purchased my boat last year, for a 7% loan rate from Newcoast Financial. Has anyone refinanced to a better rate with Newcoast?

The Fed has dropped the rate several times, I think I should be able to get a better rate now.

Boat rates are up above 8% now. There are a lot of other factors that affect boat loan rates besides the fed prime.
I highly doubt you will find any rate better than what you have. Wait until the economy stabilizes and go from there.
