Ribcraft AF 14 keeps an estimated 58% of its value after 5 years — #5168 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Ribcraft AF 14 retains an estimated 58% of its value after five years, ranking #5168 of 5780 boats we track. That trails the 66% five-year average for Bowrider in its class by 8 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Ribcraft AF 14 sheds about 13% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $19,285 it falls to around $11,127 by year five — a five-year loss near $8,158, about $4.47 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Ribcraft AF 14 bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
