and... what's your next boat??? details please!:eekdrop:

Mine claims it was due to the size of 35'. I did looking into a 29 fountain about a year ago and got the loan and approval with nothing more than an HIN#. That deal never worked out though.

Also Newcoast seemed ready to loan but only at a certain ount and more. What I am looking for was on the small side and on a 13 year old boat. So I fall into a grey area. Joey there laided it all out for me and it made sense once put into picture.

It's an OSO members boat. A 2000, 35' Nordic flame with Mag 502's and loaded with options.


Can't wait!!!!!!

depending on what you are looking to borrow, you could a personal loan. rates are higher like at 8-10% but really not much higher than a boat loan which is probably around 5-7%. Good thing about those is they are no questions asked. Getting one for 10k or less should be fairly easy, and I know you can get them for up to 25k.

X2, that's what I did.

Take the cash, buy a CD at the bank. Borrow against the CD ( usually 2 percent over what the bank is paying) to pay for the boat. You build credit, eliminate hassle and get a great rate. Hope this helps...
