May-Craft 189 Cape Classic CC keeps an estimated 68% of its value after 5 years — #2352 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.
Per VINdown's modeling, the May-Craft 189 Cape Classic CC retains an estimated 68% of its value after five years, ranking #2352 of 5780 boats we track. That trails the 70% five-year average for Fishing in its class by 2 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the May-Craft 189 Cape Classic CC sheds about 8% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $14,143 it falls to around $9,617 by year five — a five-year loss near $4,526, about $2.48 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used May-Craft 189 Cape Classic CC bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
