Shearwater 270 Carolina LTD ED CC keeps an estimated 62% of its value after 5 years — #3977 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Shearwater 270 Carolina LTD ED CC retains an estimated 62% of its value after five years, ranking #3977 of 5780 boats we track. That trails the 70% five-year average for Fishing in its class by 8 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Shearwater 270 Carolina LTD ED CC sheds about 27% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $306,000 it falls to around $189,414 by year five — a five-year loss near $116,586, about $63.88 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Shearwater 270 Carolina LTD ED CC bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
