Sea Pro 228 keeps an estimated 63% of its value after 5 years — #3717 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Sea Pro 228 retains an estimated 63% of its value after five years, ranking #3717 of 5780 boats we track. That trails the 66% five-year average for Bowrider in its class by 4 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Sea Pro 228 sheds about 12% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $68,237 it falls to around $42,716 by year five — a five-year loss near $25,521, about $13.98 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Sea Pro 228 bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
