For a 5 year plan for a new boat, interest is 3.9 at a Credit Union. Does anyone have anything better?

Location: Kentucky		Not a bad idea to look into a home equity line of credit. Low rates and no set monthly payment. Good luck!

I don't think you'll be able to beat that deal, even with a home equity plan.

I thought I had a good deal at 6.9%.

Location: Lindenhurst, Illinois		Interest on a HE Loan is tax deductible but make sure you don't go with the Home Equity just because it is deductible. The benefit is only equal to your effective tax rate so if you pay 15% tax you save 15 cents for every dollar of interest paid. If the rate you can get vs. the home equity rate is less and covers that 15 cent differential you would be better off with the conventional loan.
