Glasstream 280 SCX keeps an estimated 57% of its value after 5 years — #5368 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Glasstream 280 SCX retains an estimated 57% of its value after five years, ranking #5368 of 5780 boats we track. That trails the 62% five-year average for Cruiser in its class by 6 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Glasstream 280 SCX sheds about 11% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $208,778 it falls to around $118,168 by year five — a five-year loss near $90,610, about $49.65 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Glasstream 280 SCX bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
