Have you checked MBGforum?

I like this boat except for the holes in the front deck

So maybe someone can help me out, these are all great boats. But when I go onto NADA to check values they are way less like 5-7k less. I’ll need a bank loan for the boat and they go off of NADA. For example the 98 hewes above (nice looking boat) I’m getting $9,500 so that is what the bank would be willing to finance.

Sure sellers will come down on price, but maybe risky business financing a boat with 10+ year old motor and rigging, could be easier to finance a newer pricier boat or a real new micro for 10k.

Can you get a boat loan on a 21 yearold boat? I thought most lenders wanted less than 15 years old.

I got approved for a 1977 hewes but I couldn’t get them to come down on price. I’m sure I’m like most people it all comes down to monthly payments. That’s why I’m looking at older boats.

There was a discussion on financing boats here some times ago with lots of valuable info including other ways to finance that did not require a NADA value.

What's sad is in the eyes of a bugman loan officer, some three year old POS hurricane deck boat is worth more than a '99 Whip. They just don't know...or maybe we're the weird ones.

A little over your price but it's new. Financing will be available through banks.

could look into a loan through lightstream, I financed 50% of my almost 31 year old boat no questions asked. no penalties for paying early, fair interest rates
