Sea Ray SDX 290 keeps an estimated 56% of its value after 5 years — #5430 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Sea Ray SDX 290 retains an estimated 56% of its value after five years, ranking #5430 of 5780 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.
