Schaefer 365 keeps an estimated 66% of its value after 5 years — #2999 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Schaefer 365 retains an estimated 66% of its value after five years, ranking #2999 of 5780 boats we track. That is 3 points above the 62% five-year average for Cruiser in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Schaefer 365 sheds about 12% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $345,443 it falls to around $226,265 by year five — a five-year loss near $119,178, about $65.30 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Schaefer 365 bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
