Lowe Stinger 178 keeps an estimated 78% of its value after 5 years — #539 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 Stinger 178 retains an estimated 78% of its value after five years, ranking #539 of 5915 boats we track. That is 7 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 Stinger 178 sheds about 15% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $32,485 it falls to around $25,240 by year five — a five-year loss near $7,245, about $3.97 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Lowe Stinger 178 bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
