Duck Water Airboat 18 keeps an estimated 56% of its value after 5 years — #5496 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Duck Water Airboat 18 retains an estimated 56% of its value after five years, ranking #5496 of 5780 boats we track. That trails the 66% five-year average for Bowrider in its class by 10 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Duck Water Airboat 18 sheds about 13% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $71,000 it falls to around $39,618 by year five — a five-year loss near $31,382, about $17.20 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Duck Water Airboat 18 bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
