Silver Wave 230 Island F keeps an estimated 80% of its value after 5 years — #294 of 5915 boats VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Silver Wave 230 Island F retains an estimated 80% of its value after five years, ranking #294 of 5915 boats we track. That is 14 points above the 66% five-year average for Bowrider in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Silver Wave 230 Island F sheds about 4% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $21,373 it falls to around $17,055 by year five — a five-year loss near $4,318, about $2.37 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Silver Wave 230 Island F bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
