Scout 251 XSS CC keeps an estimated 68% of its value after 5 years — #2352 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Scout 251 XSS CC retains an estimated 68% of its value after five years, ranking #2352 of 5780 boats we track. That trails the 70% five-year average for Fishing in its class by 2 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Scout 251 XSS CC sheds about 15% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $123,968 it falls to around $84,298 by year five — a five-year loss near $39,670, about $21.74 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Scout 251 XSS CC bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
