G3 18 SC Fishing Depreciation & Resale Value

G3 18 SC keeps an estimated 76% of its value after 5 years — #805 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.

Per VINdown's modeling, the G3 18 SC retains an estimated 76% of its value after five years, ranking #805 of 5780 boats we track. That is 5 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 G3 18 SC sheds about 11% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $34,210 it falls to around $25,828 by year five — a five-year loss near $8,382, about $4.59 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used G3 18 SC bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
