Per VINdown's modeling, the Boston Whaler 285 CD retains an estimated 66% of its value after five years, ranking #2942 of 5915 boats we track. That trails the 71% five-year average for Fishing in its class by 5 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Boston Whaler 285 CD sheds about 29% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $344,994 it falls to around $227,696 by year five — a five-year loss near $117,298, about $64.27 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Boston Whaler 285 CD bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
