Monterey 278 SS keeps an estimated 59% of its value after 5 years — #5033 of 5915 boats VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Monterey 278 SS retains an estimated 59% of its value after five years, ranking #5033 of 5915 boats we track. That trails the 62% five-year average for Cruiser in its class by 3 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Monterey 278 SS sheds about 32% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $156,795 it falls to around $92,038 by year five — a five-year loss near $64,757, about $35.48 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Monterey 278 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.
