The boat the camp owns, the boat the cottage lends out, the boat that starts every season without a speech. Utility aluminum is boating with its sleeves rolled up.
Utility boats split the difference between the jon and the console rig: vee bows that take real chop, bench layouts that haul crew or cargo, and construction graded for rental fleets and resource work.
The Lund WC keeps the classic tiller skiff alive, the SSV adds depth and size for family duty, and Heavy Gauge builds the plate hull that outfitters order when guests are rough and seasons are long.
These hulls are the resale sleeper of the catalog: demand never fades because the work never does.
Three grades of workhorse, from cartop classic to outfitter plate.
Each one opens to its own page with live market pricing, specs and a payment estimate. Find the boat, then lock the number.
Slide to the boat you are eyeing. The range starts where utility boats really trade, from $5,500 to $105,995 across the lines here.
Illustration only and not an offer of credit. Your actual rate and term depend on credit profile, vessel age, loan amount and ownership structure.
Buy utility aluminum for camps, cabins, fleets, tenders and first boats that must survive being loaned out. Simplicity is the feature list.
Comfort shoppers and speed shoppers should wander one page in either direction. Everyone who has ever bailed a borrowed boat already understands this page.
Flat water budgets do fine one page down at the jons, and anglers ready for layouts should open the fishing boats.
WC skiffs start around two thousand, SSV packages run the mid four figures to low teens, and Heavy Gauge plate reaches the thirties where commercial specs apply.
Rated capacity is the spec that matters: buy the hull for the heaviest realistic load, not the average one, and the pricing stays rational.
Utility hulls are bought used with a flashlight: transom wood, rivet lines, keel wear. Everything important shows.
Fleet retired boats can be bargains or lessons. Service history decides which, and the model ranges mark the fair middle.
Tell us the boat, or just the budget. A Float Finance specialist comes back with real numbers on new, dealer and private-party utility boats, so you walk into the sea trial knowing exactly what you can spend.
No obligation, and checking your options does not affect your credit score.
Vee bow versus flat bottom. If your water ever whitecaps, the utility vee earns its premium the first crossing. Pure shallow water stays jon territory.
Lund shorthand for its deep sided utility family: more freeboard and beam than a skiff, sized fourteen to eighteen feet for crew and cargo alike.
Tiller keeps the floor open and the price down, and it rules under sixteen feet. Consoles appear on bigger SSV and Heavy Gauge builds where runs get longer.
Decades, verifiably: forty year old Lund utilities trade every spring. Aluminum thickness and transom care set the lifespan, not the calendar.
Heavy Gauge exists for exactly that duty. For fleet purchases, talk to Float Finance early about structure and quantity.
Stubbornly. Low supply of clean examples meets permanent demand from camps and first timers. The spread between new and five years old is the smallest on the site.
Buy once, loan it out for twenty years, apologize to no one. The workhorses are priced and waiting.
Tell us a little bit about yourself and the boat you are looking to finance.
