Per VINdown's modeling, the Chaparral 287 SSX retains an estimated 62% of its value after five years, ranking #3969 of 5915 boats we track. That is roughly in line with the 62% five-year average for Cruiser in its class.
Most of the loss lands early: the Chaparral 287 SSX sheds about 28% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $234,967 it falls to around $146,384 by year five — a five-year loss near $88,583, about $48.54 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Chaparral 287 SSX bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
