HOW BOAT FINANCE WORKS
Boat finance is not very different from financing a new car as they are both classified under vehicle finance. Boat loans may allow you to purchase a new or more expensive boat that you’ve always desired that otherwise could have been out of your reach but has repayments that fit comfortably into your budget. Today, marine finance is quite different from how it used to be in the past with flexible repayment options and competitive rates.
Here at Rapid Loans, we provide secured boat loans. A Secured boat loan is a finance option where the lender holds a security interest in an asset. For boat loans, the boat you purchase will serve as the collateral for the loan and will be retained if you default on your payments.
SOME USEFUL INFORMATION ABOUT BOAT FINANCE
To begin with, it’s good to know there are many similarities between obtaining boat loans and car loans.
Type of Boat
Almost every lender will ask you to fill in the type of boat you want to get in your financing application. You will also have decided on the boat before you sign a loan contract, as this cannot be changed once the boat loan is granted because it serves as security for the loan.
Marine Survey for Boat Loan
Another thing that may be required of you when securing a boat loan is to get a marine survey. This is usually required by some lenders when purchasing larger boats to ensure that the boat you are purchasing is in good shape, void of any faults, and to ascertain its durability over time.
Nevertheless, you will most likely be asked to provide a marine survey only if you are taking out a boat loan to purchase a used boat. Most lenders will not require that for new boats as they should be free of defects and comes with a warranty.
Boat Insurance
It is a prerequisite that the boat is under comprehensive insurance for the duration of the loan term when taking out boat loans with us.
If you are approved, we can help you get the boat of your dreams in no time. Boat loan repayments are paid as weekly, fortnightly, or monthly instalments until the loan is fully paid back – this will all be laid out in your loan contract.
REPAYMENT TERMS
The period you will be given to pay back a boat loan depends on the amount, as well as the loan term. However, the time frame for small loans normally span between 24 to 48 months.
OTHER LOAN CONSIDERATIONS
When applying for a boat loan, you need to understand a few things so that you can make the best decision regarding your boat finance.
Boat Cost
Before you apply for a boat loan, you must find out the cost of the boat. Then you must consider your budget and apply for a loan you know your current wages will be able to pay back every month without any disruptions. Also, calculate the fees and interest rate and be sure it is what you can afford.
