Term in months: Number of months for this loan.
Interest rate: Annual interest rate for this loan.
Cash down: Total amount of cash used in this purchase. The larger your cash down payment the smaller the loan you will need to finance this purchase.
Trade allowance: The total amount that you are given for any boatmobile that you trade-in as part of this purchase. In some states a trade-in can also reduce the amount of sales tax you will owe. See the definition for "Sales tax deduction for trade-in" for more information on trade-in vehicles and sales tax.
Amount owed on trade: Total loan balance still outstanding on the trade-in.

In addition, Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon have no sales tax on boats.
