Cougar ST 17 JON keeps an estimated 72% of its value after 5 years — #1395 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Cougar ST 17 JON retains an estimated 72% of its value after five years, ranking #1395 of 5780 boats we track. That is 2 points above the 70% five-year average for Fishing in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Cougar ST 17 JON sheds about 6% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $6,549 it falls to around $4,708 by year five — a five-year loss near $1,841, about $1.01 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Cougar ST 17 JON bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
