The total cost of the boat is $9,755, plus the interest paid over the $8,880, however there is missing data here in terms of how the loan is paid off. Is it paid in monthly payments? Annual payments?
For this type of loans I would assume 12 monthly payments, or 72 payments total,  with the interest paid each month. The total interest paid would be $2809.04. The boat would cost 9755 +2809.04= 12564.04, with these assumptions being true...
