Per VINdown's modeling, the Dusky 278T Tournament Twin retains an estimated 72% of its value after five years, ranking #1285 of 5780 boats we track. That is 2 points above the 70% five-year average for Fishing in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Dusky 278T Tournament Twin sheds about 8% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $59,702 it falls to around $51,766 by year five — a five-year loss near $7,936, about $4.35 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Dusky 278T Tournament Twin bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
