Looking at repower options (outboards) and don't have enough cash to go with new motors at present. Anyone do motor finance at 3-4%? I'd put about 40-50% cash, and would need to finance the rest. Not really fond of financing toys, but it's that or sit out till next year so thought I'd take a look.

I would think the engine dealer you buy from has a factory backed plan. Prob with some good rates too.

Credit Union or home equity loan

CU wants 7% for boats, even though they do 3.5 for cars.

If you hold clear title to the boat, buy the motors with cash and then "buy" the boat and finance the total amount- essentially a re-fi.

No doubt the car loan rate is less- at least there are avenues for liquidating auto repos- boats are tough to liquidate and recover much from.
