Used Boat Financing-Set Sail for Savings

By Julie Jacobs


Before you buy a used boat, you should shop around for used boat financing. Just as with cars and other vehicles, boats have a depreciation rate as well-by taking advantage of this you can save a lot of money on your used boat purchase. By taking advantage of used boat financing you can save a lot of money on your loan as well-but you have to shop carefully. So, what do you look for in used boat financing? You should look for a great interest rate, financing terms that fit your life plan, and a reputable lending company that is easy to work with for your used boat financing.

When you look for the best used boat you look for one that has been gently used and well taken care of, that is not too old and that is in a good price range. You may look at dozens of boats before you find the right one. Shopping for used boat financing should be the same way. It should not be something that you just take the first loan that you are offered by the dealer or your bank. It will take a little extra time, but it can save you a lot of money in the long run.

As you are shopping for used boat financing you will find many tools on lender sites. One of the useful tools that you will find is a boat loan calculator. Make sure that they have the current interest rates for used boat financing and then enter your loan amount as well as the length of financing to see an estimate of your monthly payment. You can continue to change the numbers until the loan fits your budget. You should remember to subtract any down payment from the loan amount as well as any trade in value. The financing length will be anywhere from a few years to 15 or more depending on the loan amount and the value of the boat.

Next, you are ready to get pre-approval for your loan. This will only take a short time to fill out the application and as little as 24 hours to get a response. Now, you are ready to look for the boat of your dreams.

Starlight 46 yacht- The latest addition to the Starlight fleet combines the talents of two of the top UK yacht designers. Stephen Jones, who has already displayed his skills with the Starlight 39 and 35, and Jonathan Sherwill who has gained a world reputation for interior design and layout. The Starlight 46 is an ocean thoroughbred with luxury and style. Stephen Jones has achieved a deck layout which utilises all his experience and expertise in the ergonomics of sail control and boat handling. With a larger crew, the performance can be fully appreciated but without upsetting the comfort of cockpit due to the carefully positioned sail controls. The dedication of the craftsmen who build it and skills of the designers who have developed this handsome cruiser, have created a high quality, superb performance cruising yacht which will instil an exceptional pride of ownership.

Until the 1950s, almost all yachts were made of wood, or steel in larger yacht, but now there is a much wider range of materials. Although wood hulls are still in production, the most common construction material is fibreglass, followed by aluminum, steel, carbon fibre, and ferrocement (rarer because of insurance difficulties). The use of wood has changed and is no longer limited to traditionally board-based methods, but also includes modern products such as plywood, veneers and epoxy resins. However, wood is mostly used by hobbyists or wooden boat purists when building an individual boat.

Various maintenance should be carried out on your boat on a regular basis, whether you own a dinghy, RIB or yacht. Some of this maintenance is to keep the boat looking good, but some is essential for the proper working of your vessel. Don't forget about regular maintenance checks as you could be building up for major problems.
