Per VINdown's modeling, the Cougar Genesis C 17C CC retains an estimated 72% of its value after five years, ranking #1379 of 5915 boats we track. That is roughly in line with the 71% five-year average for Fishing in its class.
Most of the loss lands early: the Cougar Genesis C 17C CC sheds about 6% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $11,050 it falls to around $7,978 by year five — a five-year loss near $3,072, about $1.68 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Cougar Genesis C 17C CC bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
