South Bay 525RS Arch keeps an estimated 59% of its value after 5 years — #4738 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the South Bay 525RS Arch retains an estimated 59% of its value after five years, ranking #4738 of 5780 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 525RS Arch sheds about 13% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $65,687 it falls to around $39,018 by year five — a five-year loss near $26,669, about $14.61 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used South Bay 525RS Arch bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
