Go-Devil 18 X 38 HF keeps an estimated 62% of its value after 5 years — #3867 of 5915 boats VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Go-Devil 18 X 38 HF retains an estimated 62% of its value after five years, ranking #3867 of 5915 boats we track. That trails the 66% five-year average for Bowrider in its class by 4 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Go-Devil 18 X 38 HF sheds about 11% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $6,825 it falls to around $4,265 by year five — a five-year loss near $2,560, about $1.40 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Go-Devil 18 X 38 HF bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
