517.0. "Custom boat financing..." by MARY::MONTIVIRDI () Tue Mar 31 1987 10:30

    I am considering having a boat built in the next year or so.
    Can anyone tell me if the procedure is the same to finance
    a custom boat as it is for production boats?  Also, what are
    some good marine financing companies?

517.1...last issue WOODEN BOAT ?BRAT::FAULKNERTue Mar 31 1987 14:1912
    
    Vic, I think it was the last issue of Wooden Boat magazine that
    had an article on just the info you seek. It was aimed more at the
    new and used wood boats, but mentioned other materials as well.
    I'll see if I can remember to bring it in.  It might not hurt to
    give some of the larger yacht financing folks a call, like Yaegen
    or Horizon. My experience has been that they're quite helpfull on
    production boats(if a bit solicitous), they might have special packages
    for custom jobs, and probably lower rates.

    Hi John,
         Thanks for the info.  By the way, how is Merrimack these
