Am I correct in assuming that you could still deduct monthly loan
payments if the boat qualifies as a primary or secondary residence?

I believe that's the case, though I never had occasion to check it. I prefer
not to use borrowed money to buy a boat.

As someone else correctly pointed out---it is only the interest that you
can deduct. The proportion of interest to principle will vary widely
with the interest rate and length of the loan. I suspect that a
5 to 10 year loan with a reasonable down payment would have deductible
interest significantly less than maintenance, mooring, and operating
costs. Then you have to figure out property taxes, insurance, etc.,
etc.. Ah, well, TAANSTAAFL!
