Per VINdown's modeling, the Excel 2472 CAT SC retains an estimated 72% of its value after five years, ranking #1327 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 Excel 2472 CAT SC sheds about 18% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $20,972 it falls to around $15,141 by year five — a five-year loss near $5,831, about $3.20 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Excel 2472 CAT SC bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
