Sea-Doo Switch Cruise 18 I O keeps an estimated 63% of its value after 5 years — #3550 of 5915 boats VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Sea-Doo Switch Cruise 18 I O retains an estimated 63% of its value after five years, ranking #3550 of 5915 boats we track. That trails the 71% five-year average for PWC in its class by 7 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Sea-Doo Switch Cruise 18 I O sheds about 26% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $40,849 it falls to around $25,898 by year five — a five-year loss near $14,951, about $8.19 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Sea-Doo Switch Cruise 18 I O bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
