Check your
Boat Financing
Financing lets you maintain your f inancial
safety net rather than spending your savings or
selling assets. You can still purchase the boat
of your dreams without using up all your savings.
You may make a big buy using f inancing without
compromising your f inancial stability. I t
enables you to preserve your savings for
unforeseen costs or other investments. First,
decide what kind of boat you want to buy. Next,
calculate the cost of a boat loan payment each
month and see i f you can afford i t .
To f inance a boat, you can go in one of these
directions Make f inancial arrangements with
your boat dealer. Ask your bank for a loan. Apply
for a boat loan from a lender specialising in f
inancing boats.

Types of Boat Insurance
Agreed Value Policy Covers the boat' s
predetermined value at the start of the
insurance. Provides complete coverage in the
event of a complete loss. Depreciation for
partial losses could occur. Though usually more
costly, i t offers superior protection. Actual C
ash Value Policy Includes depreciation and the
boat' s current market value. Less costly up
front, but as the boat ages, i t provides less
covering.

Choosing an Insurance Provider
Do some fact- f inding f i rst. The manner in
which an insurer has handled claims in the past
is an excellent predictor of the calibre of
service you can anticipate in the future. Online
resources for state insurance regulatory bodies
are also helpful. Hurricane Readiness Your
insurance can ask for a hurricane plan i f you
often function in a hurricane- prone area. Will
you store i t in a hurricane- proof facility, tow
i t , or skip i t to a safer harbour in the event
of a storm? Your coverage may depend on the
response, so be ready to stick to the plan even i
f i t lowers your costs.
