Crest 250 SLS Pontoon Depreciation & Resale Value

Crest 250 SLS keeps an estimated 65% of its value after 5 years — #3102 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Crest 250 SLS retains an estimated 65% of its value after five years, ranking #3102 of 5780 boats we track. That is 3 points above the 62% five-year average for Pontoon in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Crest 250 SLS sheds about 17% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $100,000 it falls to around $65,000 by year five — a five-year loss near $35,000, about $19.18 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Crest 250 SLS bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
