    How do you go about getting a loan to buy a boat from a private seller? Every bank I call will only go 3-4 years on a 2002. That makes the payments way too high for me.

    Contact member Bob Bowman from the website here – financed my boat through him and it could not have gone any smoother!!!

    I’m saving up enough to put half of the price of the rig down, therefore I will not have to worry about a big payment. Only way to go if you ask me. Extended loan terms like ten years are not a wise decision.

    Just a thought, I financed my last boat with a loan against my truck. The truck was paid for and the bank game me a MUCH better rate against the truck and I could go longer term than borrowing against the used boat. I suppose you could always think home equity too but it helps to have a good banker to have some “creative finance” conversations with.

    Good luck.

    I can’t recommend Bob enough either. He is my go to guy for all things financing. As a matter of fact, I just left his office. I think he needs something to work on this afternoon.
