The loss does not land all at once here: the Princecraft Sport 187 sheds about 4% in year one and keeps going at much the same rate. From roughly $44,235 it falls to around $35,741 by year five — a five-year loss near $8,494, about $4.65 a day in depreciation.
There is no single sweet spot on the Princecraft Sport 187: it gives up a similar share of its value every year rather than falling off a cliff, so how long you keep it matters more than what age you buy it at.
