South Bay S224SB2 keeps an estimated 56% of its value after 5 years — #5440 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the South Bay S224SB2 retains an estimated 56% of its value after five years, ranking #5440 of 5780 boats we track. That trails the 62% five-year average for Pontoon in its class by 6 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the South Bay S224SB2 sheds about 14% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $42,552 it falls to around $23,871 by year five — a five-year loss near $18,681, about $10.24 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used South Bay S224SB2 bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
