Boatzon Boat Calculator Overview

Use this boat loan calculator to estimate the cost of a personal loan used to finance a boat. Enter your expected loan amount, your estimated credit score, your down payment, and desired loan term months to see your estimated monthly payments.

Your estimated monthly payment for your loan will be displayed in the field above the calculator. If you are happy with your monthly payment calculation, proceed to the next step by clicking the "Get Pre-Qualified Now" button.

Cost of Boat or Loan Amount

This is the amount you expect to borrow. Boatzon offers secured and unsecured loans. Unsecured loans can be as high as $100,000, while secured loans can be up to 25 million. Keep in mind, taxes and charges may not be included in your estimated loan amount. This amount may be slightly different than financing terms at closing.

APR

The annual percentage rate is the interest rate you expect to get on the loan. Some factors that determine your APR on a boat loan include whether it is a secured or unsecured loan, your credit score and history, your income, and existing debts or trade lines.

Down Payment

You can choose to pay an amount as a down payment for the boat purchase. In most cases, you’ll need to put 10-20% down on your purchase.

Loan Term

This is how long you think you’ll need to repay the loan. Unsecured loans often have repayment terms of two to seven years; secured boat loan terms can be as long as 20 years. Longer repayment terms typically mean lower monthly payments, but you'll pay more in total interest. A shorter loan term could reduce your costs in the long run, but it will likely raise your monthly payments.

Credit Score

Typically, a credit score of 700 and above is ideal for a boat loan, but a score in the upper-600 range should not be an issue. Many lenders can provide loans even if you have bad credit. However, you may have higher interest rates, lower loan amounts and repayment terms. Typically, anything under 630 is considered a bad credit rating and tend to have higher loan rates. Many lenders allow cosigned loans or join applications. These are loans where someone with better credit co-signs the loan with you. However, the person who cosigned for the loan is also responsible for the loan so if you default on the payment, it could hurt their credit as well as your own.

Unsecured Versus Secured Loans

The main difference between an unsecured and secured loan is that an unsecured loan does not require the borrower to put up any collateral such as the boat purchased. Unsecured loans sometimes make a purchase easier and requiring less documents. The bad news is that because the loan is unsecured, the lender is taking a bigger risk on the borrower and will typically have higher interest rates.

Generally, annual percentage rates range from 6% to 36%, and terms range from two to seven years. These loans are attractive to borrowers who do not have assets like a car or a house, but still want some financial assistance to purchase a boat.

Secured loan requires the borrower to put up some form of collateral. Secured loans typically use the purchased boat as collateral. While it is riskier for the borrower to put up an asset that the bank can seize if you default on the debt, interest rates are lower, borrowers have a higher borrowing amount, and longer repayment terms (month terms) are available. With a secured boat loan, you may also need to make a down payment, which means you’ll need cash up front.

What If I Have Bad Credit?

Many lenders can provide loans even if you have bad credit. However, you may have higher interest rates, lower loan amounts and repayment terms. Typically, anything under 630 is considered a bad credit rating and tend to have higher loan rates.

Many lenders allow cosigned loans or join applications. These are loans where someone with better credit co-signs the loan with you. However, the person who cosigned for the loan is also responsible for the loan so if you default on the payment, it could hurt their credit as well as your own.
