Apply For a Boat Loan
By Kondwani Nyangulu
Acquiring boat loans is a great way to finance the purchase of a new or used boat. From small powerboats to larger sailboats, boat loans offer boaters a wonderful way to purchase their boat and be well on their way to enjoying this favorite pastime. There are a few different finance options which prospective borrowers can consider with regard to boat loans. Each has pros and cons associated with it and it is up to the borrower to choose the loan which is right for their specific financial situation.
Secured Loan Offered by a Lender Dealing Specifically with Boat Loans
One loan option for borrowers to ponder when it comes to obtaining finances to pay for their sea craft is a secured loan offered by a lender which deals specifically with loans of this type. Similar to a car loan, the lender will provide financing for the boat purchase and in turn will have a secured interest in the boat itself. Therefore, if the borrower fails to pay their monthly payments consistently the lender is able to repossess the boat as a result.
This type of loan is beneficial in that it provides the borrower with a loan which often times will have a favorable interest rate attached to it. Since the lender will have a security interest in the boat, they are able to repossess the item for lack of payment and will be more likely to offer a lower interest rate than if the loanwas unsecured. The borrower may like the fact that the interest rate is lower with this type of loan than any other variety of boat loans. However, this can also be a negative thing in the eyes of a borrower when they consider that they will always stand a chance of losing the boat should they fail to make their payments in a timely manner.
Unsecured Loan Offered by a Variety of Lenders
Another finance option for individuals interested in buying a new boat is to obtain an unsecured loan. Unsecured loans are available through a wide variety of lenders. Basically, the one who is interested in obtaining money in the way of boat loans will apply for a general loan with a lender and either be approved or denied for the loan. The loan is not specifically geared towards one purchase or another and the borrower is able to use the money not only for a boat purchase but may be able to purchase other items as well.
The benefit to obtaining this type of loan is that there is no security interest on the boat itself and the bank cannot repossess the item. However, the borrower may have to pay a higher interest rate than they would with secured boat loans. Either way, the borrower must review the terms of the boat loans to determine which loan is right for them.

Solar Panel Life-span On Sailing Yachts?
Sun, 25 Nov 2007 11:41:35 +0200
Just wondering how long some of you have had your solar panels? If you have noticed any degeneration in efficiency, and what brand you have? Also, if anyone can recommend a good book on solar power - drycell battery systems and energy consumption calculations (i.e. how many and what size panels are needed to power specific systems) it would be greatly appreciated.

Thu, 20 Dec 2007 16:42:39 +0200
Vessel: Paceship Eastwind "William Bligh" 25' LOA Embarking Point: The Maine Yacht Center, 100 Kensington Rd, Portland, Maine. I can't cover any of your costs either to or from the boat, sorry. This will have to be for fun or adventure for whatever that's worth. I would like someone to act as an assistant helmsman and lookout while I'm asleep while we sail south to Virginia. 22 Jan 2008. Duties are basically to share whatever basic things we have to do, to behave as civilized human beings do, but to try to have a good time. Victualling, which I assume means food, we'll visit the grocery store before we leave Maine and try and split costs.
