Dusky 17R Fishing Depreciation & Resale Value

Dusky 17R keeps an estimated 64% of its value after 5 years — #3319 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Dusky 17R retains an estimated 64% of its value after five years, ranking #3319 of 5780 boats we track. That trails the 70% five-year average for Fishing in its class by 6 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Dusky 17R sheds about 11% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $21,840 it falls to around $17,920 by year five — a five-year loss near $3,920, about $2.15 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Dusky 17R bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
