Per VINdown's modeling, the Smoker Craft 160 Freedom TL retains an estimated 68% of its value after five years, ranking #2403 of 5915 boats we track. That trails the 71% five-year average for Fishing in its class by 3 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Smoker Craft 160 Freedom TL sheds about 27% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $16,493 it falls to around $11,215 by year five — a five-year loss near $5,278, about $2.89 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Smoker Craft 160 Freedom TL bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
