Buying a new versus used boat

A shiny new boat is obviously desirable, but your budget is usually the determining factor here. Here are some of the benefits of buying new versus used.

New boat

Fewer concerns

You don’t need to worry about how the boat has been used, or more importantly, misused, or whether it’s been adequately waterised and commissioned. You can confidently put it in the water and go.

Latest technology

You can rest assured that your new boat will be equipped with the latest electronics, features and safety technology. New boats are often more fuel-efficient and easier to maintain too.

Lengthy warranties

Having a manufacturer’s warranty that you can rely on if something goes wrong is major plus. What’s more, because of the exceptional build quality of today’s modern vessels, many manufacturers now offer lengthy warranties.

Less legwork

Not having to get a marine surveyor or a mechanical surveyor to inspect the boat will save you time and money. You also won’t need to do a Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) check to find out if there are any outstanding loans on the boat, or a police or maritime authority check to determine whether its stolen.

Used boat

Less depreciation

Boats can depreciate significantly in the first couple of years of ownership. By letting someone else own the boat first, you avoid these depreciation costs. Used boats are in high demand, so if you manage to get a good one and look after it, it may hold its value reasonably well.

Tried and tested

With a second-hand boat, any initial faults or problems would've hopefully been picked up during the warranty period. In saying that, you should consider getting a marine surveyor to inspect the boat’s hull and electrical components; and an engine surveyor to perform tests to establish the engine’s condition. A Personal Property Securities Register check will establish if there are any outstanding loans on the boat. While a maritime authority or police check in your State or Territory can provide information regarding the boat’s stolen status.

Customer reviews

Always choose a trusted brand. However, if a reputable manufacturer has released a boat that appears to give nothing but trouble, then this should become apparent during your online search and talking to those in the industry.

Greater negotiating power

You get to choose the type of sale. Dealers who sell preowned boats have higher overheads but a reputation to maintain. Brokers have reduced costs and can source vessels far and wide. While private sellers are often the most motivated.

Hot tip! Don’t forget to insure your boat

Always remember to organise your boat registration and insurance before hitting the water. And where possible, make sure you get a receipt for your deposit, as well as for the full purchase price of the boat.

Things to consider when buying a boat

Understand your needs

You need to ask yourself what you want to use the boat for and buy accordingly. Do you want to go day-boating or take it fishing? Then a model with a centre console might be right for you. If you’re looking to stay on the water for extended periods or overnight, then you’ll need something built for comfort. Or perhaps you want a model more suited for water sports, such as water-skiing or wakeboarding.

Boating equipment

You’ll need to make sure your boat is fully equipped before taking it out. Think electronics, water toys, accessories, and safety equipment. It’s hard to put a figure on these things, so take note of what you’ll need and how much it’ll cost when doing your research.

Marina or storage costs

Wet storage at a marina gives you easy access to your boat all year round but tends to be more expensive than dry storage. Dry storage, meanwhile, keeps it out of the ocean’s harsh conditions when not in use, but you’ll need to call ahead and organise for it to be put in the water before you use it. Storage fees are calculated by the length of your boat and the location of the marina or storage facility.

Consider the costs

Boat ownership doesn’t come cheaply. Aside from the cost of the boat, there’s insurance, registration, licenses, taxes, marina fees or storage costs, equipment and accessories, fuel, and maintenance. Boating can be an expensive hobby but a lot of fun.

Street parking

Some councils allow boat owners to park boat trailers on suburban streets indefinitely, while others don’t. If you’re thinking of parking your boat on the street outside your house, find out what the rules are first. You may also want to invest in some security measures.

Take it for a test ride

Different boat designs handle choppy water conditions differently. You want to make sure you feel comfortable on your boat, particularly during poorer weather, and the only way to do this is take it for a test ride during realistic weather conditions.

Get it checked over

If you’re buying a second-hand boat, you should consider getting a marine surveyor to inspect the boat’s hull and electrical components; and an engine surveyor to perform tests to establish the engine’s condition. A Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) check will establish if there are any outstanding loans on the boat. While a maritime authority or police check in your State or Territory can provide information regarding the boat’s stolen status.

General

ANZ Fixed Rate Personal Loans and ANZ Variable Rate Personal Loans are unsecured. This means you do not have to use an asset like your car or home as security to get a loan.

  

If you have an ANZ Variable Rate Personal Loan, you can pay off your loan early by making early or extra repayments without additional costs. This could help you to save on the interest you pay over the life of the loan. 

With an ANZ Fixed Rate Personal Loan, early repayment fees and charges, which may be significant, may apply if you make early or additional repayments or repay your loan early. Refer to Early Repayment Charges (PDF) and  ANZ Consumer Lending Terms and Conditions booklet (PDF).

  

ANZ Fixed Rate Personal Loan

An ANZ Fixed Rate Personal Loan gives you the certainty of fixed repayments for the term of your loan. This means if interest rates increase your repayments stay the same.

However, if you're looking to pay off your loan early, make extra repayments or increase your loan amount, early repayment fees and charges may apply. See Early Repayment Charges (PDF) and ANZ Consumer Lending Terms and Conditions booklet (PDF) for further information. You also do not have access to any early repayments made to the loan.

ANZ Variable Rate Personal Loan

With an ANZ Variable Rate Personal Loan, your interest rate may increase or decrease during the loan term, and so may your repayments. You can make early or extra repayments to pay off the loan faster (and save on interest charges), and redraw any extra money you’ve paid on your loan, without additional costs.

Applying for a personal loan

Yes, you can apply but your application for an ANZ Personal Loan will be subject to ANZ’s credit assessment criteria.

Your liabilities and other financial commitments, such as an existing personal loan with another lender, will be taken into account when we assess your application for an ANZ Personal Loan.

  

You'll need to provide information on:

  • your income amount and frequency
  • your assets
  • what existing financial commitments you have with ANZ and other financial institutions, such as personal loans, home loans or credit cards
  • your expenses, such as how much you spend on gas, electricity, insurances, food, transport and lifestyle expenses

We ask for this information so that we can verify your financial circumstances and assess your ability to repay an ANZ Personal Loan without substantial hardship. You can explore which ANZ Personal Loan may suit your needs by using our tools and calculators. 

  

If you’re not a permanent Australian resident, you may still be eligible to apply for an ANZ Personal Loan. You will be required to meet specific visa and income verification requirements. Valid visas include a range of working visas and business visas.  

Working visas

Includes all temporary visa subclasses that allow an individual to work in Australia. This typically includes holders of skilled category visas but can also include some family category visas.

Working holiday visas are not acceptable.

Business visas

Includes all temporary/provisional business visa subclasses that allow business people to establish or manage a new or existing business or invest in Australia. This generally includes holders of business owner, senior executive or investor category visas.

For more details please visit an ANZ branch or call 1800 339 410 to discuss your application. You can also find out what a particular visa entitles the holder to by visiting Department of Home Affairs website.

  

You don’t have to pay stamp duty on any of our personal loans.

But if you’re buying a car, you may need to pay stamp duty to the state or territory government to register it and to transfer its registration. The amount of stamp duty varies between states and territories, and also depending on the type of vehicle.

Remember that this money doesn’t go to us, but to the relevant state or territory government.
