South Bay 525E keeps an estimated 59% of its value after 5 years — #4878 of 5915 boats VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the South Bay 525E retains an estimated 59% of its value after five years, ranking #4878 of 5915 boats we track. That trails the 62% five-year average for Pontoon in its class by 3 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the South Bay 525E sheds about 23% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $56,038 it falls to around $33,230 by year five — a five-year loss near $22,808, about $12.50 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used South Bay 525E bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
