Ranger RT188 keeps an estimated 83% of its value after 5 years — #75 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 RT188 retains an estimated 83% of its value after five years, ranking #75 of 5915 boats we track. That is 12 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 RT188 sheds about 14% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $36,845 it falls to around $30,581 by year five — a five-year loss near $6,264, about $3.43 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Ranger RT188 bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
