Crownline 280 XSS keeps an estimated 64% of its value after 5 years — #3433 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Crownline 280 XSS retains an estimated 64% of its value after five years, ranking #3433 of 5780 boats we track. That is roughly in line with the 62% five-year average for Cruiser in its class.
Most of the loss lands early: the Crownline 280 XSS sheds about 32% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $198,564 it falls to around $126,088 by year five — a five-year loss near $72,476, about $39.71 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Crownline 280 XSS bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
