[Got Stripers]

Ok, since I hope to have my sights set on a boat by spring, I need to start to look at securing a loan and insurance. The last few boat deals I've been involved with all came with dealer loan companys in tow, but this time around I'm likely buying from John Q public. Any recommendations on lenders?

I'll hope my insurance company has travelers, as I've had good luck with them in the past, but what about boat insurance companies, who are the good, the bad and the ugly?

Tight lines.
