Per VINdown's modeling, the Black Water 36 Sport retains an estimated 71% of its value after five years, ranking #1578 of 5780 boats we track. That is 9 points above the 62% five-year average for Cruiser in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Black Water 36 Sport sheds about 6% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $381,912 it falls to around $270,775 by year five — a five-year loss near $111,137, about $60.90 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Black Water 36 Sport bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
