Hi All!
First post here. Looking at buying a boat and this seems like the perfect forum for my future boating and fishing adventures. I am going to throw a few questions out there. Hopefully these are relevant enough!
First, anyone out there very recently (in 2020) purchase a new boat? What kind of financing rate did you get? I have not formally applied yet, but talking to "dealerfinance" it looks like on a new $45,000 boat, over 15 years, it will be about 5.24% (I have great credit). This rate seems high to me - anyone able to get much lower? Any luck negotiating their interest rate?
I am leaning a few ways. Kingfisher 1825 potentially. Debating on a used Northwest 187 Compass as well. A few others. 18' welded. Any words of advise here?
Thanks! Hope to contribute a bunch to the fishing areas soon as well!
