Those thoughts for me are fleeting at best with these interest rates. Don't care the brand. I couldn't fathom going from a 65k Mojo, now my 100k SA to anything that's 150. Lol

I'm 100% with ya. we were amazed going from a 42k supra to a 90k tige over the years and we got a STEAL on the last boat. I can't imagine paying 120k for a moomba let alone 150+ starting for a supra.
175k boat with 20% down over 20 years is a grand a month. that's a lot of scratch for a toy that most only use 50-75hrs a year. add gas/insurance into it and now your talking ballpark 15k/yr to own it.
what I find more amazing.... there's a 2023 heyday on OI for over 100k.... never thought I'd see that from a brand that was touting "affordable and easy to tow". all in that's a 110k toy.
is it the boat or is it the fact that it's a 240 month note?
I would suspect that most actuaries are calling out the economic environment that's building and advising against a long term outlook on what is turning back into a depreciating asset again.
our current checking bank(not the one we use for vehicle/boat loans) is at 8.99% but only goes to 15 years. they won't touch 20. my CU that does boat loans will only do 5year balloon on a 15 year amortization anymore and their rates are in the same ballpark.
I can still find 240 month rates around 6% locally, but I think you are right on banks and CU's reacting to this economy.
Next 18-24 months is going to hurt.
