Bennington 18 SL keeps an estimated 68% of its value after 5 years — #2445 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Bennington 18 SL retains an estimated 68% of its value after five years, ranking #2445 of 5780 boats we track. That is 5 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 Bennington 18 SL sheds about 10% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $33,564 it falls to around $22,689 by year five — a five-year loss near $10,875, about $5.96 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Bennington 18 SL bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
