Bay Craft 180 Tunnel FO keeps an estimated 70% of its value after 5 years — #1968 of 5915 boats VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Bay Craft 180 Tunnel FO retains an estimated 70% of its value after five years, ranking #1968 of 5915 boats we track. That is 3 points above the 66% five-year average for Bowrider in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Bay Craft 180 Tunnel FO sheds about 19% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $42,350 it falls to around $29,433 by year five — a five-year loss near $12,917, about $7.08 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Bay Craft 180 Tunnel FO bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
