Dusky 17RL Bay keeps an estimated 66% of its value after 5 years — #2937 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Dusky 17RL Bay retains an estimated 66% of its value after five years, ranking #2937 of 5780 boats we track. That trails the 70% five-year average for Fishing in its class by 5 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Dusky 17RL Bay sheds about 10% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $21,840 it falls to around $18,396 by year five — a five-year loss near $3,444, about $1.89 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.
