Essex Performance 26 DX BR keeps an estimated 43% of its value after 5 years — #5894 of 5915 boats VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Essex Performance 26 DX BR retains an estimated 43% of its value after five years, ranking #5894 of 5915 boats we track. That trails the 62% five-year average for Cruiser in its class by 19 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Essex Performance 26 DX BR sheds about 25% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $202,125 it falls to around $86,307 by year five — a five-year loss near $115,818, about $63.46 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Essex Performance 26 DX BR bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
