Cobia 280 Center Console keeps an estimated 62% of its value after 5 years — #3807 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Cobia 280 Center Console retains an estimated 62% of its value after five years, ranking #3807 of 5780 boats we track. That trails the 70% five-year average for Fishing in its class by 8 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Cobia 280 Center Console sheds about 18% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $221,982 it falls to around $138,516 by year five — a five-year loss near $83,466, about $45.73 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Cobia 280 Center Console bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
