Donzi 18 Classic keeps an estimated 60% of its value after 5 years — #4546 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Donzi 18 Classic retains an estimated 60% of its value after five years, ranking #4546 of 5780 boats we track. That trails the 66% five-year average for Bowrider in its class by 6 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Donzi 18 Classic sheds about 8% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $86,300 it falls to around $51,952 by year five — a five-year loss near $34,348, about $18.82 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Donzi 18 Classic bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
