Per VINdown's modeling, the Sea Pro 228 W Hardtop retains an estimated 62% of its value after five years, ranking #3867 of 5915 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 W Hardtop sheds about 12% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $78,178 it falls to around $48,861 by year five — a five-year loss near $29,317, about $16.06 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Sea Pro 228 W Hardtop bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
