Per VINdown's modeling, the Crestliner XF 189 retains an estimated 75% of its value after five years, ranking #956 of 5780 boats we track. That is 4 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 Crestliner XF 189 sheds about 1% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $26,498 it falls to around $21,915 by year five — a five-year loss near $4,583, about $2.51 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Crestliner XF 189 bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
