Howard Custom 28 Sport Deck keeps an estimated 61% of its value after 5 years — #4126 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Howard Custom 28 Sport Deck retains an estimated 61% of its value after five years, ranking #4126 of 5780 boats we track. That is roughly in line with the 62% five-year average for Cruiser in its class.
Most of the loss lands early: the Howard Custom 28 Sport Deck sheds about 8% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $230,000 it falls to around $141,220 by year five — a five-year loss near $88,780, about $48.65 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Howard Custom 28 Sport Deck bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
