I have never financed a used boat before and I'm looking for advice. We might pull the trigger on a 1999 Ventura 20 with a 2000 200 HP Merc. They are asking 13,500 but whatever price we agree to we'd probably put down 15-20% and see if we can finance the remainder.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a lender for used boats and would we have trouble finding a company that would lend money on an 19 year old boat and motor?

Any advice on this would be much appreciated!
