Cobalt CS23 keeps an estimated 59% of its value after 5 years — #5013 of 5915 boats VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Cobalt CS23 retains an estimated 59% of its value after five years, ranking #5013 of 5915 boats we track. That trails the 62% five-year average for Cruiser in its class by 3 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Cobalt CS23 sheds about 18% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $114,908 it falls to around $67,565 by year five — a five-year loss near $47,343, about $25.94 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Cobalt CS23 bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
