Bennington 208 SL keeps an estimated 68% of its value after 5 years — #2258 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Bennington 208 SL retains an estimated 68% of its value after five years, ranking #2258 of 5780 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 Bennington 208 SL sheds about 8% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $27,242 it falls to around $18,606 by year five — a five-year loss near $8,636, about $4.73 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Bennington 208 SL bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
