Hello All,

Moved here from the mountains of Colorado to be near and on the water. Looking to purchase a live-aboard size boat. Have found one for $25K and want to finance it. Live in Jacksonville, FL. Any suggestions on best boat loan/financing company? Also any good suggestions on who to go through for insurance? Tried Geico - my auto company and no go...

Thanks Folks!

A lot of people do what I did - just go to a local credit union. That way they can put a face with a name/SS#. It worked out really well with me and I was able to finance 100% over the term I wanted (admittedly during more credit fluid times).

Don't forget that on 25k that the rate isn't OVERLY important in the grand scheme of things.

INSURANCE - ALOT of people on here, including myself are using Stacy Shute (member: WakezoneINS) if it is a high performance boat. Not sure whether she does "other" stuff or not.....

Good Luck....

Talk to Kyle. One of the best in the business.

Thanks! We do write all types of boat from put-puts to go fast... A boat is a boat. Let me know if I can help, even if you are in FL.

Definatley check with Stacy for insurance....she's top-notch for customer service!

Newcoast just funded a frind of mine on an RV- excellent, they beat out essex.

I caught them late when I got my new boat but Kyle gave me a very competitive quote as a check.

Very flexible competitive company.
