Dusky 17RL Bay keeps an estimated 66% of its value after 5 years — #3006 of 5915 boats VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Dusky 17RL Bay retains an estimated 66% of its value after five years, ranking #3006 of 5915 boats we track. That is roughly in line with the 66% five-year average for Bowrider in its class.
Most of the loss lands early: the Dusky 17RL Bay sheds about 30% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $28,000 it falls to around $18,396 by year five — a five-year loss near $9,604, about $5.26 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Dusky 17RL Bay bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
