Alweld 1960SJ keeps an estimated 80% of its value after 5 years — #253 of 5915 boats VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Alweld 1960SJ retains an estimated 80% of its value after five years, ranking #253 of 5915 boats we track. That is 9 points above the 71% five-year average for Fishing in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Alweld 1960SJ sheds about 18% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $8,652 it falls to around $6,921 by year five — a five-year loss near $1,731, about $0.95 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Alweld 1960SJ bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
