Your Marine Financing Questions Answered

  • How do boat loans work?

    Boat loans are similar to car loans, typically offered with fixed rates for 10 to 15 years. Loan terms vary based on the amount borrowed and the applicant’s credit score, with higher scores receiving better rates.

  • What types of boat loans are available?

    Finance Solution can help customers qualify for different loan types, including secured loans, unsecured loans, home equity loans, and personal loans, each with distinct terms and interest rates.

  • How do I qualify for a boat loan?

    To qualify, lenders consider your credit score, outstanding debts, credit history, and recent applications. Maintaining a good credit score is essential for better rates, as it indicates to lenders that you’re likely to repay on time.

  • How can I refinance my boat or marine vehicle?

    To refinance your boat or marine vehicle, gather your current loan details and financial information. Finance Solution will handle the rest, presenting your application to lenders to secure improved terms and provide a seamless refinancing process.

  • What is the importance of debt-to-income (DTI) ratio in boat loan applications?

    Lenders use DTI to assess loan eligibility, comparing total monthly debt payments to gross monthly income. This helps determine if a borrower can handle additional debt responsibly.

  • What are typical boat loan rates and terms?

    Boat loan rates are usually fixed, influenced by the type of loan, boat, and the borrower’s credit history. Secured loans may offer terms up to 20 years, while unsecured loans typically have shorter terms and higher interest rates.

    Boat insurance, covering collision damage, property liability, comprehensive damage, and uninsured/underinsured coverage, is essential and often required by lenders. Finance Solution can provide comprehensive insurance solutions to protect your investment.

  • What should dealerships know about boat warranty coverage?

    Dealerships should inform customers that many parts of the boat may already be covered by manufacturer warranties. Finance Solution helps identify valuable warranty options, such as lifetime hull warranties or motor warranties, tailored to specific boating needs.

  • Why choose an outsourced provider for boat warranty and insurance services?
