Per VINdown's modeling, the Cobalt R35 retains an estimated 58% of its value after five years, ranking #5101 of 5915 boats we track. That trails the 62% five-year average for Cruiser in its class by 4 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Cobalt R35 sheds about 17% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $565,361 it falls to around $330,736 by year five — a five-year loss near $234,625, about $128.56 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Cobalt R35 bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
