Sailfish 245 DC keeps an estimated 65% of its value after 5 years — #3228 of 5915 boats VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Sailfish 245 DC retains an estimated 65% of its value after five years, ranking #3228 of 5915 boats we track. That trails the 71% five-year average for Sail in its class by 6 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Sailfish 245 DC sheds about 26% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $167,661 it falls to around $108,476 by year five — a five-year loss near $59,185, about $32.43 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Sailfish 245 DC bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
