3. Deductible Interest
• The interest on your boat loan will qualify as a deduction for
income tax if the boat makes it to the ‘Qualified residence’
status. For a boat to be considered as a qualified residence, it
should satisfy the following minimum requirements:
It should have a berth, that facilitates sleeping aboard.
It should have a toilet and shower head.
It should have a galley, that serves as a kitchen.

4. Better boat becomes affordable
• If you qualify for a loan, chances are, you can probably buy
that bigger, better boat.
• A loan will provide you access to more funds than what your
savings might have.

5. Budget
• If you have financial constraints, buying a boat on loan might
be a better option than buying a boat for cash.
• Buying a boat on a boat loan requires you to pay only about
25-30% as upfront costs compared to what you would shell
out if you were to buy the boat for cash.

6. Finance made easy
• There are various resources available for guidance.
• National Marine Banker’s Association (NMBA) is one such
useful source.

7. Advantages of buying a boat for cash
• Buying a boat for cash has its advantages such as:
 Often, when you are paying for the boat by way of loan, you can
get carried away.
 The initial down-payment of 25-30% and monthly payments
may seem less, but in the long run, you might end up paying a
lot more than you wished to, for a boat
 If you pay cash for your boat, you don’t have to worry about
paying installments every month.
 You save on the interest payments if you don’t take a loan to
buy a boat.
