Bennington 188 SF keeps an estimated 67% of its value after 5 years — #2499 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Bennington 188 SF retains an estimated 67% of its value after five years, ranking #2499 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 188 SF sheds about 10% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $28,320 it falls to around $19,087 by year five — a five-year loss near $9,233, about $5.06 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Bennington 188 SF bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
