South Bay S217F keeps an estimated 62% of its value after 5 years — #3977 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the South Bay S217F retains an estimated 62% of its value after five years, ranking #3977 of 5780 boats we track. That is roughly in line with the 62% five-year average for Pontoon in its class.
Most of the loss lands early: the South Bay S217F sheds about 8% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $18,599 it falls to around $11,512 by year five — a five-year loss near $7,087, about $3.88 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used South Bay S217F bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
