Per VINdown's modeling, the Carolina Skiff 19 LS CC retains an estimated 59% of its value after five years, ranking #4980 of 5915 boats we track. That trails the 71% five-year average for Fishing in its class by 12 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Carolina Skiff 19 LS CC sheds about 20% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $34,630 it falls to around $20,397 by year five — a five-year loss near $14,233, about $7.80 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Carolina Skiff 19 LS CC bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
