Lowe 1860 BIG River keeps an estimated 86% of its value after 5 years — #30 of 5915 boats VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Lowe 1860 BIG River retains an estimated 86% of its value after five years, ranking #30 of 5915 boats we track. That is 15 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 Lowe 1860 BIG River sheds about 3% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $14,160 it falls to around $12,163 by year five — a five-year loss near $1,997, about $1.09 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Lowe 1860 BIG River bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
