Yes.
You would have to pay cash or get a co-signer since you have no credit rating being under 18.
But any person of any age can own a boat.
The operator is the one with the age restrictions.
Here are the laws in Texas for example:
Operators must meet the age and boater education requirements shown below in order to operate any of the following vessels legally in Texas:
A powerboat powered by a motor of more than 15 horsepower or…
A personal watercraft or…
A windblown vessel over 14 feet in length.
A person less than 13 years of age may operate only if he or she is supervised by a person who:
Is 18 years of age or older and…
Can lawfully operate the watercraft and…
Is on board when the vessel is underway.
A person at least 13 years of age and born on or after September 1, 1993, may operate without supervision only if he or she has passed a boater education course that is accepted by Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
