Per VINdown's modeling, the Dusky 268 Bay retains an estimated 68% of its value after five years, ranking #2419 of 5915 boats we track. That is 2 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 Dusky 268 Bay sheds about 24% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $66,000 it falls to around $44,814 by year five — a five-year loss near $21,186, about $11.61 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Dusky 268 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.
