Ranger 212LS keeps an estimated 81% of its value after 5 years — #162 of 5915 boats VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Ranger 212LS retains an estimated 81% of its value after five years, ranking #162 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 Ranger 212LS sheds about 16% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $86,090 it falls to around $69,732 by year five — a five-year loss near $16,358, about $8.96 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Ranger 212LS bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
