Good to know
What additional dealer fees should I expect when buying a boat?
Beyond the advertised sales price, buyers typically pay dealer prep fees ($500 to $1,500), manufacturer freight charges ($1,000 to $3,500 on new models), state registration fees ($100 to $500), and local sales tax (4% to 10%). Always request a written, itemized out-the-door price quote prior to signing.
What are the standard down payment and loan terms for boat financing?
Marine lenders generally require a 10% to 20% down payment for standard boat loans. Financing terms span from 10 to 20 years for loan amounts exceeding $25,000, with fixed interest rates typically between 6.5% and 10.5% for applicants with credit scores of 680 or higher.
Is a marine survey mandatory when purchasing a used boat?
While not legally required by states, marine lenders and insurance companies regularly require a professional marine survey for used vessels older than 5 to 10 years or priced above $25,000. Comprehensive surveys cost between $15 and $25 per foot of vessel length.
