Princecraft Sport 172 keeps an estimated 70% of its value after 5 years — #1785 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Princecraft Sport 172 retains an estimated 70% of its value after five years, ranking #1785 of 5780 boats we track. That is 4 points above the 66% five-year average for Bowrider in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Princecraft Sport 172 sheds about 10% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $40,023 it falls to around $27,936 by year five — a five-year loss near $12,087, about $6.62 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Princecraft Sport 172 bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
