Hustler 344 Cheetah keeps an estimated 48% of its value after 5 years — #5750 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Hustler 344 Cheetah retains an estimated 48% of its value after five years, ranking #5750 of 5780 boats we track. That trails the 62% five-year average for Cruiser in its class by 14 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Hustler 344 Cheetah sheds about 13% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $353,883 it falls to around $169,863 by year five — a five-year loss near $184,020, about $100.83 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Hustler 344 Cheetah bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
