Montego Bay C8518 keeps an estimated 60% of its value after 5 years — #4669 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Montego Bay C8518 retains an estimated 60% of its value after five years, ranking #4669 of 5780 boats we track. That trails the 62% five-year average for Pontoon in its class by 3 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Montego Bay C8518 sheds about 27% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $20,961 it falls to around $12,513 by year five — a five-year loss near $8,448, about $4.63 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Montego Bay C8518 bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
