Per VINdown's modeling, the Southwind 201FS retains an estimated 78% of its value after five years, ranking #526 of 5915 boats we track. That is 12 points above the 66% five-year average for Bowrider in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Southwind 201FS sheds about 4% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $56,209 it falls to around $43,730 by year five — a five-year loss near $12,479, about $6.84 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Southwind 201FS bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
