3. How to apply / next steps:
a. If you meet the Credit Profile Parameters please call 949-515-2362 for more information on our mid-tier and sub-prime marine financing programs. You may qualify. Our service-oriented and friendly staff of experienced boat finance professionals will work with you, one-to-one, every step of the way to get you the boat of your dreams and get your credit rating back on track. * (see disclaimer below)
b. If you have not met the Credit Profile Parameters noted above you may not qualify for our sub-prime marine loan financing programs. We strongly suggest that you not apply for a loan unless you are relatively sure that you have met the general Credit Profile Parameters as it will place an unnecessary inquiry on your credit report that may lower your FICO score. Instead we recommend that you start monitoring your FICO score and apply for a SeaDream loan once it has reached 525 or above.
