Lowe Stinger 198 keeps an estimated 78% of its value after 5 years — #451 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 198 retains an estimated 78% of its value after five years, ranking #451 of 5915 boats we track. That is 8 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 198 sheds about 13% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $47,382 it falls to around $37,147 by year five — a five-year loss near $10,235, about $5.61 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Lowe Stinger 198 bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
