Robalo R242 EX CC keeps an estimated 62% of its value after 5 years — #3905 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Robalo R242 EX CC retains an estimated 62% of its value after five years, ranking #3905 of 5780 boats we track. That trails the 70% five-year average for Fishing in its class by 8 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Robalo R242 EX CC sheds about 12% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $158,319 it falls to around $98,474 by year five — a five-year loss near $59,845, about $32.79 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Robalo R242 EX CC bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
