Monterey 238 SS keeps an estimated 62% of its value after 5 years — #3905 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Monterey 238 SS retains an estimated 62% of its value after five years, ranking #3905 of 5780 boats we track. That is roughly in line with the 62% five-year average for Cruiser in its class.
Most of the loss lands early: the Monterey 238 SS sheds about 31% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $97,445 it falls to around $60,610 by year five — a five-year loss near $36,835, about $20.18 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Monterey 238 SS bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
