About this tool

Boats sit between cars and houses in the lending world: marine lenders routinely write 10- and 15-year notes on vessels that hold value better than RVs, typically asking 10% to 20% down. This calculator mirrors a marine loan quote — purchase price, down payment percent, trade-in credit, financed sales tax and fees, APR and a term list topping out at 15 years — then shows the monthly payment from standard amortization, total interest over the note and a first-year table of principal-versus-interest splits. That table is the honest look at long boat terms: early on, most of each payment services interest while the hull quietly depreciates in your driveway. Use it to compare bank, credit union and dealer financing before you commit, and rerun it with different down payments to see the savings. Educational estimate, not a lender offer; everything runs locally in this tab.
