Key West 189 FS keeps an estimated 74% of its value after 5 years — #1074 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Key West 189 FS retains an estimated 74% of its value after five years, ranking #1074 of 5780 boats we track. That is 3 points above the 70% five-year average for Fishing in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Key West 189 FS sheds about 7% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $23,840 it falls to around $17,570 by year five — a five-year loss near $6,270, about $3.44 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Key West 189 FS bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
