Lowe FM 1800 SC keeps an estimated 77% of its value after 5 years — #600 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Lowe FM 1800 SC retains an estimated 77% of its value after five years, ranking #600 of 5780 boats we track. That is 6 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 Lowe FM 1800 SC sheds about 15% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $36,738 it falls to around $28,214 by year five — a five-year loss near $8,524, about $4.67 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Lowe FM 1800 SC bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
