It was a joke, silly!
Lots of people talk about 40 year SP return like it’s a given and they have been expertly raking in double digit returns for decades. The reality is that investing is far from that “safe” and the real returns over the long term for the average investor are typically a good chunk lower than that due to lots of circumstances; life based, decision based, economy based.
20 year boat loans are basically never a good idea. BUT, they are often the only way to get out of control boat prices off the table and still get new boats into the hands regular folks.
But the 2006 Tige example above was real. Poor sap had payed for years and was upside down big time.

I bought a 2006 Tige from a guy a couple years back. I paid 37k, he still owed roughly 45K on it. And, didn’t have the money. He tried to arrange a short sale with his lender and took FOREVER to get the title to me. I was utterly dumbfounded.
Hazardous loan product for some folks.

I love the new boats with all the surf gadgets. I’m envious of all these new boat pics I see.
I love that my 07 has been paid off for 6 years more though. I put a little money into it here and there (working on reveribles project right now and new tower speakers in the spring).
I will never knock someone for spending their money how they want but I personally could not fathom carrying a boat payment through my entire adult life. To each their own.

OP may be a millionaire and understand that owning a depreciating asset might not be the best idea....
The OP is a boat store pitching a 20 year boat loan.....🤷*♂️

We have probably hijacked the dealers sale ad long enough. Haha

It’s ok. It wasn’t a thread, it was kind of a misplaced ad anyway, as some have pointed out.

I've always done long 10 to 20 year loans on new boats. We trade or sell every couple of years and it works. The key is don't over pay and put enough down if the issue arrives you can sell if up need.
Dang, this spam thread is still up. Mods asleep at the wheel again.

Considering it was spam/advertising misplaced ad, there sure was a lot of discussion. What is the record on here for longest spam thread/most responses. I would assume most of them get deleted rather quickly and don't make it this long. Maybe everyone is just getting offseason blues and wants something to discuss in their free time.
