Cobalt R3 keeps an estimated 56% of its value after 5 years — #5379 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Cobalt R3 retains an estimated 56% of its value after five years, ranking #5379 of 5780 boats we track. That trails the 62% five-year average for Cruiser in its class by 6 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Cobalt R3 sheds about 9% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $102,836 it falls to around $58,102 by year five — a five-year loss near $44,734, about $24.51 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Cobalt R3 bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
