How can someone get a boat with low credit?

buy a 3-4 thousand dollar boat out of pocket. fish out of that while saving to buy one better.

Exactly. An aluminum boat might also be what he needs to be looking at....it took several years for me to be able to move from an aluminum boat to a fiberglass one.

have a buddy who wants to get a boat, not really looking at any particular make (although he prefers "Ranger's"), but his credit is not so hot.

Nothing like champagne taste on a beer budget. Tell him to join the rest of the working class and save up for what you want.

Absolutely...........Those FOOLS out there that finance for 10 years and then whine when they are lopsided kill me.

I'm currently saving for my next one. I've been saving for 8 years, and have 4-5 more years to save. My current ride is PAID for......my next ride will be PAID FOR.

Later,

Look your buddy dead in the eye, tell him you love him and you'd die for him, then tell him to wise up, start paying things on time, and save every extra nickle he has in to a savings account. Once he has gone without and saved, and can hit the bank with an asssurance of a 25% or better down payment, I'm sure they will listen.

Folks, bad credit is something a person has to take personnal responsibility for. A guy has to earn it, not expect it, not feel he deservers it, and not feel he's entitiled to it.

You either earn it by doing the right things, or you lose it by doing the wrong things. It's really just that simple.

We just got to stop feeling we are entitled, and put more emphasis on going without until we have earned it. Want does not equal need. Want does not equal earned.

Amen Brother if you cant pay for it you don't need it, Just like borrowing money to gamble on, in my opinion Tight Lines (Even from the Bank)
