The boat loan environment is changing for the better: Three leading marine bankers who attended the Consumer Bankers Association’s “CBA Live” conference recently said that the loan industry is “reconnecting” to the US boating community.

The National Marine Bankers Association (NMBA) had an exhibit booth and presented a workshop with an updated market overview called “A Fresh Look at Marine Lending.” NMBA President Karen Trostle of Sterling Acceptance, Jim Foley of Trident Funding and Jim Coburn of Coburn & Associates attended the conference on behalf of NMBA in an effort to ignite interest in retail marine loans.

Jut over half of the lenders at the conference expect loan demand to increase over the next 12 months. But they also said that growth will be tempered by a sluggish economy.

“There doesn’t appear to be a preference for lending on types or sizes of boats, sail or power, or comparisons with other installment lending areas, such as RVs or home equity products,” said Foley in the statement. “The focus now more than ever is on borrower quality and having a comfort level with a higher down payment level or equity that the borrower is willing to commit to the transaction. For banks that have been making boat loans, they will likely close more loans where there has been a profitable history with retailers, brokers and manufacturer brands. But, the bottom line is reducing risk with any loan transaction.”

As the launch of DIFFERENCE – Alibi hull Nr. 1 is imminent, the owner shares his thoughts and reflects on the creative process that have made this project so special.

“…In my own business as an international art dealer, there is an extreme premium placed on creative integrity and on innovation. Our client base is largely comprised of successful entrepreneurs who are exacting and demanding. They (and we) gravitate towards artists who are as sincere and as dogged about their art as we are in our businesses. Our clients have almost a sixth sense for innovation – for detecting ideas and expressions which are uncommon, not seen before and we respond to imaginative ideas which though seemingly small, can be truly profound and life-changing when encountered. From them and from the artists I have learned the pleasure of being surrounded by this kind of creativity and I have developed the same passion for engaging in it whenever and wherever I can. You may find it strange, but this is what drew me to Aeroyacht and Alibi Catamarans the innovative design and the opportunity to participate in the creative process…”

Have you all noticed the weakness of the Euro? The European currency lost nearly 18% in the last months, relatively strengthening the purchasing power of the “Good-ole Greenback”. The best news is today the US dollar will buy your more Euro-made multihulls than ever. Catamaran builders have already slashed their prices to attract buyers who are cautiously awaiting the end of the recession. Banks are starting to lend again and our friends at Fountaine Pajot have issued their new low-price list which reflects the drop in the Euro. This is the time to shop for a new boat.
