These boats aren't financeable in most circumstances due to age, and yet some of them are still command a significant amount of money. Our pool of potential buyers would be limited, I would think, if banks won't lend on them. Thoughts?

Your fears are irrational. Anything is finaceable. People buy and sell these boats on a daily basis. There's plenty of lenders who lend on boats of all ages.
