Malibu Wakesetter 21 VLX keeps an estimated 63% of its value after 5 years — #3574 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Malibu Wakesetter 21 VLX retains an estimated 63% of its value after five years, ranking #3574 of 5780 boats we track. That trails the 66% five-year average for Bowrider in its class by 3 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Malibu Wakesetter 21 VLX sheds about 7% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $136,031 it falls to around $85,699 by year five — a five-year loss near $50,332, about $27.58 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Malibu Wakesetter 21 VLX bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
