Most of the loss lands early: the Alumacraft Competitor 185 Tiller sheds about 8% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $21,472 it falls to around $16,168 by year five — a five-year loss near $5,304, about $2.91 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Alumacraft Competitor 185 Tiller bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
