Polar Kraft 189 WT keeps an estimated 81% of its value after 5 years — #150 of 5915 boats VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Polar Kraft 189 WT retains an estimated 81% of its value after five years, ranking #150 of 5915 boats we track. That is 10 points above the 71% five-year average for Fishing in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Polar Kraft 189 WT sheds about 4% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $27,169 it falls to around $22,034 by year five — a five-year loss near $5,135, about $2.81 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Polar Kraft 189 WT bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
