Per VINdown's modeling, the Cruisers 38GLS retains an estimated 58% of its value after five years, ranking #5133 of 5915 boats we track. That trails the 62% five-year average for Cruiser in its class by 4 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Cruisers 38GLS sheds about 36% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $1,004,190 it falls to around $586,446 by year five — a five-year loss near $417,744, about $228.90 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Cruisers 38GLS bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
