Duck Water Back Bay 18 keeps an estimated 78% of its value after 5 years — #506 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Duck Water Back Bay 18 retains an estimated 78% of its value after five years, ranking #506 of 5780 boats we track. That is 11 points above the 66% five-year average for Bowrider in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Duck Water Back Bay 18 sheds about 7% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $19,995 it falls to around $15,516 by year five — a five-year loss near $4,479, about $2.45 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Duck Water Back Bay 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.
