Per VINdown's modeling, the Princecraft Ventura 194 retains an estimated 75% of its value after five years, ranking #937 of 5915 boats we track. That is 9 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 Ventura 194 sheds about 18% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $55,753 it falls to around $41,814 by year five — a five-year loss near $13,939, about $7.64 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Princecraft Ventura 194 bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
