Starting to look for my first boat and just discovered my CU doesn't offer Boat Loans, Can anyone recommend any loan companies to me? Also any other boat buying tips would be great!

I bought mine with a home equity loan.

Concord/Walnut Creek Area, I am thinking a used boat since it is my first so may be buying from a private party, I know if I go to a shop they can do the loan for me, But if I find a PP i will have to get one through...??

home equity loan is the best idea. Are you buying new or used?

Go to keybank.com . They do recreational loans.

I am not sure of your situation. But if I were you I would go ahead and talk to a loan officer at your credit union. If you have a good relationship with them they would probably make an exception. I would try that first. If they won't and cant give you a good reason I would take my business elsewhere.
