Alumacraft Escape 165 CS keeps an estimated 71% of its value after 5 years — #1486 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Alumacraft Escape 165 CS retains an estimated 71% of its value after five years, ranking #1486 of 5780 boats we track. That is roughly in line with the 70% five-year average for Fishing in its class.
Most of the loss lands early: the Alumacraft Escape 165 CS sheds about 10% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $10,521 it falls to around $7,511 by year five — a five-year loss near $3,010, about $1.65 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Alumacraft Escape 165 CS bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.

It keeps an estimated 71% of its value after five years — better than most among the 5780 boats VINdown tracks (ranked #1486).
From about $10,521 when new it drops to roughly $7,511 after five years — a loss near $3,010 (71% of its value retained).
Around 3 years old: that is just past the steepest depreciation, so you skip the biggest drop while the value curve is flattening.
