Royal 169SS OF keeps an estimated 60% of its value after 5 years — #4546 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Royal 169SS OF retains an estimated 60% of its value after five years, ranking #4546 of 5780 boats we track. That trails the 66% five-year average for Bowrider in its class by 6 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Royal 169SS OF sheds about 12% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $26,811 it falls to around $16,140 by year five — a five-year loss near $10,671, about $5.85 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Royal 169SS OF bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
