Most of the loss lands early: the Sea Chaser 30 DC sheds about 23% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $269,876 it falls to around $150,860 by year five — a five-year loss near $119,016, about $65.21 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Sea Chaser 30 DC bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
