Per VINdown's modeling, the Duck Water Brown Water 16 retains an estimated 73% of its value after five years, ranking #1226 of 5915 boats we track. That is 7 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 Brown Water 16 sheds about 5% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $8,500 it falls to around $6,213 by year five — a five-year loss near $2,287, about $1.25 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Duck Water Brown Water 16 bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
