I have been happy with Key Bank, they do financing and re-financing of boats at good interest rates.
You can call them at 800-539-0102.
However In2Deep had this to say
DO NOT -- I REPEAT -- DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH KEYBANK.
Very long story made short;
Had a loan financed with them for 9 years. Perfect payment history.
Sold my boat in November. Mid November I called Keybank and asked for proper procedure to pay-off my loan and get title transferred to new owner.
1. Was given direction by them on an acceptable form of payoff payment. Personal check would be fine. Did that. Uncashed check returned "unacceptable form of payment".
2. Called and was told information I was provided was not correct -- and to send them different form of payment. Cashier's Check. Did that. Cashier's check returned "unacceptable form of payment"
3. Called again. Told that previous two customer service reps had provided me incorrect information. Send money order. Did that. That worked.
That process took almost 4 months (additional 3 months of boat payments made by me...and interest accrued as a result. Remember....all this AFTER I had sold the boat)
When I called to complain and ask for a credit back on the interest due to their neglegence -- was told to make a written request, and that it would be considered in "committee".
Did that. Request rejected.
During all of this -- was in process of building new boat, and already had pre-approved loan from Keybank all lined-up. Loan amount apx. 6x larger than previous loan.
Needless to say I cancelled the financing.
My dealer lined me up with Firstar.
Better deal.

Hey T.,
Before I said "f... it" and paid cash for our deal, here's some numbers I got;
-Essex Credit 949-515-5200
-Key Bank 800-539-0102 (I believe Essex may go through them, might want to call dirct first)
-Eboatloans.com 877-435-3633
-Bank of America don't have #, but call any branch and they'll forward you.
-A guy from the boards named Chris. I never talked to him. 714-962-5554, ext.22
Hope that helps. I think Key Bank quoted best deal, but I've heard some horror stories about them. Like I said, I felt like it was easier when I was buying my freak'in house then talking to some of these people. I have good credit, too, except for that little surprise my ex slid on there for me. :lightsabe
Good luck.

I went with Essex here. They did a good job. They will be at the L.A. boat show if you have any questions.
