Per VINdown's modeling, the Avalon Ambassador RJ 2785 retains an estimated 68% of its value after five years, ranking #2264 of 5915 boats we track. That is 6 points above the 62% five-year average for Pontoon in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Avalon Ambassador RJ 2785 sheds about 6% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $85,423 it falls to around $58,514 by year five — a five-year loss near $26,909, about $14.74 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Avalon Ambassador RJ 2785 bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
