Defiance 250 Commander EX CC keeps an estimated 74% of its value after 5 years — #1020 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Defiance 250 Commander EX CC retains an estimated 74% of its value after five years, ranking #1020 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 Defiance 250 Commander EX CC sheds about 8% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $79,733 it falls to around $59,082 by year five — a five-year loss near $20,651, about $11.32 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Defiance 250 Commander EX CC bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
