Per VINdown's modeling, the Boston Whaler 285 Pilothouse CD retains an estimated 66% of its value after five years, ranking #2874 of 5780 boats we track. That trails the 70% five-year average for Fishing in its class by 4 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Boston Whaler 285 Pilothouse CD sheds about 11% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $328,912 it falls to around $217,081 by year five — a five-year loss near $111,831, about $61.28 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Boston Whaler 285 Pilothouse CD bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
