Sea Ray SDX 290 keeps an estimated 56% of its value after 5 years — #5560 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 Ray SDX 290 retains an estimated 56% of its value after five years, ranking #5560 of 5915 boats we track. That trails the 62% five-year average for Cruiser in its class by 6 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Sea Ray SDX 290 sheds about 32% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $154,350 it falls to around $86,899 by year five — a five-year loss near $67,451, about $36.96 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Sea Ray SDX 290 bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
