Per VINdown's modeling, the Smoker Craft 161 Pro Angler retains an estimated 66% of its value after five years, ranking #2900 of 5915 boats we track. That trails the 71% five-year average for Fishing in its class by 5 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Smoker Craft 161 Pro Angler sheds about 27% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $15,455 it falls to around $10,231 by year five — a five-year loss near $5,224, about $2.86 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Smoker Craft 161 Pro Angler bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
