Finance your boat

So, you’ve decided to buy a boat, but are at crossroads when trying to decide how to buy it? We can help!

This presentation puts forth the various pros and cons of buying a boat on finance or for cash.

Deductible Interest

• The interest on your boat loan will qualify as a deduction for income tax if the boat makes it to the ‘Qualified residence’ status. For a boat to be considered as a qualified residence, it should satisfy the following minimum requirements:

It should have a berth, that facilitates sleeping aboard. It should have a toilet and shower head. It should have a galley, that serves as a kitchen.

Better boat becomes affordable

• If you qualify for a loan, chances are, you can probably buy that bigger, better boat.

• A loan will provide you access to more funds than what your savings might have.

Budget

• If you have financial constraints, buying a boat on loan might be a better option than buying a boat for cash.

• Buying a boat on a boat loan requires you to pay only about 25-30% as upfront costs compared to what you would shell out if you were to buy the boat for cash.

Finance made easy

• There are various resources available for guidance.

• National Marine Banker’s Association (NMBA) is one such useful source.

Advantages of buying a boat for cash

• Buying a boat for cash has its advantages such as:

Often, when you are paying for the boat by way of loan, you can get carried away.

The initial down-payment of 25-30% and monthly payments may seem less, but in the long run, you might end up paying a lot more than you wished to, for a boat

If you pay cash for your boat, you don’t have to worry about paying installments every month.

You save on the interest payments if you don’t take a loan to buy a boat.
