Per VINdown's modeling, the Hurricane SS 188 retains an estimated 50% of its value after five years, ranking #5723 of 5780 boats we track. That trails the 66% five-year average for Bowrider in its class by 16 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Hurricane SS 188 sheds about 15% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $47,218 it falls to around $23,467 by year five — a five-year loss near $23,751, about $13.01 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Hurricane SS 188 bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
