Boat Financing

Can I use a home equity loan to buy a boat?

Yes — a home equity loan or HELOC is a common way to finance a boat purchase. The interest rate is often lower than a dedicated marine loan, and the interest may be tax-deductible (consult a tax advisor). The risk is that your home is collateral. If you have significant equity and good discipline, it is a financially efficient option.
