Company news: NADAguides, a leading vehicle information website, has announced it has made various enhancements to the Boats section of its website in an effort to make the marine shopping and buying experience easier for consumers. First, the website has partnered with the experts at Boat History Reports(SM) and has launched a Boat History Report service which enables consumers to research the background information of a pre-owned watercraft. These Boat History Reports check for hurricane damage and prior accidents, including determining if a boat has been run aground, salvaged, submerged, seized, involved in a fire or collision or has a lien against it due to environmental factors. The service provides boat shoppers with a detailed report that includes an Accident Check, a Salvage Check, an Environmental Lien Check, a Seizure Check, a Hurricane Check and more. Consumers simply enter the boat's HIN number (or Hull Identification Number -- similar to the VIN number of a car) and within moments, the service scans a nationwide database of marine information to determine if the used watercraft has hidden problems that could prove costly or unsafe. This service also allows shoppers to find a Boat History Report certified dealer or broker within their area. "Our ultimate goal is to enable consumers to make smarter investments and better decisions when buying a pre-owned watercraft by providing them with information and resources that would not otherwise be available to them," said Grant Brooks, president, Boat History Report. Additionally, NADAguides.com just announced a partnership with First Commercial Corporate of America (a 40-year boat finance company) to offer shoppers easy online access to competitive boat financing for both small and large watercraft. Visitors to the Boats section of NADAguides.com complete a simple application online, including the price of the watercraft, the type of loan (new, used or a refinance), the amount of money for a down payment and the length of the loan they're interested in obtaining and within minutes, their application is processed and they're provided with some of the most competitive marine finance programs available today, including rates as low as 6.25%. "If you don't have the right tools, the boat buying experience can be intimidating," said Damon Bennett, director of business development, NADAguides.com. "That's why we felt it was so important to empower our website visitors with as much information, tools and services as possible. With the launch of our Boat History Report service and with the services offered by our boat-financing partner, First Commercial Corporate of America, we've made the marine shopping and purchasing process simple and painless." Since 2000, NADAguides has grown from a relatively unknown vehicle pricing site to one of the Top 10 most visited automotive information websites on the Internet today. Each month, close to six million consumers visit NADAguides.com and marine information is one of the most popular types of information the company publishes. Shoppers can access the NADAguides.com Boat History Report service by clicking on the Boats tab at the website's homepage and then clicking on the "Check Any Boat's History" link in the Resources section of the marine homepage. Shoppers can access NADAguides.com boat financing services by clicking on the Boats tab at the website's homepage and then clicking on the "Finance Application" link in the Resources section of the marine homepage.
