Per VINdown's modeling, the Mako 18 LTS retains an estimated 73% of its value after five years, ranking #1281 of 5915 boats we track. That is 7 points above the 66% five-year average for Bowrider in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Mako 18 LTS sheds about 16% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $34,995 it falls to around $25,476 by year five — a five-year loss near $9,519, about $5.22 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Mako 18 LTS bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
