I am looking to move up to a 242, potentially x series and i was wondering if anyone is making payments but didn't put much down?

I currently pay 215 a month on my 192
 
$50k is going to run you about $400 per month at 15yrs
 
If they bring the 2.9% back 55k runs 377 a month if they don't at 4.9 it runs around 432 a month. Ugh I want to throw up even thinking about 180 boat payments. I'm really considering going new in the spring but my credit union will do 1.9% for 75 months and that's likely the path I will go unless Yamaha is doing the 0% for 60 months then I will go that way.
 
Not helpful but I enjoy my $0 monthly boat payment. Now if you ask about the mod budget that new 242 does not look too bad ;)
 
When I was looking at a new boat in 2015, an AR240 with zero down, 180 months at 2.9% was going to be right about $400 per month. The payment isn't bad, but if you don't pay extra, it would be easy to end up upside down.
 
O.O
 
Bueller?? Bueller...zero point zero!

@Michael Rasmussen or you can go the path the last three posts mentioned and buy a 05-09 model and have no payment sometimes that is the most fun path.
 
0.0, too.

And so is my mod budget :(.
 
$ 0.00 payment, buying a slightly used (70 Hours) 2008 SX230HO that was not sold new until 2012 was a heck of a deal at 24K cash.
