Eboat Planet

So, you have a dream of owning a beautiful Sail Boat and spending all of your free time quietly enjoying the peace of the intercoastal waters. You can feel your hand on the tiller and sniffing the shift of wind. You want to be the master of your vessel.

Your dream has led you to locating your boat and you want to sail it now. To do that most people must find financing. You really want to find the best deal in financing to make your dreams come true.

Financing for sail boats has a lot in common with financing for a new home. You can go to the traditional walk-in broker s offices or

you can get an eLoan. It pays to shop around just as you would for financing on a home; rates, terms and service vary. All loans are not created equal.

Sail Boat Insurance is something else to consider when you make your new purchase. Some lenders may also provide insurance. But once again compare rates and coverage with several companies before you commit.

Sail Boat Loans usually range from ten thousand to ten million. Ideally you would like a loan with no points, no pre-payment penalty (if you pay off your loan early) and a simple interest fixed rate. Then ask what your payments would be for different terms, like 10 years, 15 years or

20 years. You may find that the payment for a 15 year loan is not that much more than one for a 20 year loan and it would get paid off 5 years sooner. Some lenders will also assist you with Coast Guard Documentation if needed and may offer some discounts along these lines that will save you money.

In general you can expect to need at least a 10% down payment. If your credit is not that strong you can expect that you would need a larger down payment. Just as in purchasing a home, you can get a better interest rate if you can put 20% down. Some lenders have a minimum loan

amount. This is usually in the range of $10,000 to $15,000.

There will also be closing cost involved with obtaining your sail boat financing. While you are shopping for rates, be sure to compare each lender s closing cost fees as well. There can be lender s fees and value added service fees, such as Coast Guard Documentation if required, fees associated with titling and registration. Be sure you are comparing apples to apples when it comes to closing cost expenses.

If you already own a sail boat and have equity in that boat and need cash for improving the vessel you can also do a cash out refinance with a boat lender.
