Bayliner VR4 BR Bowrider Depreciation & Resale Value

Bayliner VR4 BR keeps an estimated 74% of its value after 5 years — #1002 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Bayliner VR4 BR retains an estimated 74% of its value after five years, ranking #1002 of 5780 boats we track. That is 8 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 Bayliner VR4 BR sheds about 9% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $35,560 it falls to around $26,421 by year five — a five-year loss near $9,139, about $5.01 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Bayliner VR4 BR bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
