Grady-White 251 CE CC keeps an estimated 75% of its value after 5 years — #873 of 5915 boats VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Grady-White 251 CE CC retains an estimated 75% of its value after five years, ranking #873 of 5915 boats we track. That is 5 points above the 71% five-year average for Fishing in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Grady-White 251 CE CC sheds about 20% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $177,470 it falls to around $133,812 by year five — a five-year loss near $43,658, about $23.92 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Grady-White 251 CE CC bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
