Per VINdown's modeling, the Starcraft CX 21 FD retains an estimated 60% of its value after five years, ranking #4546 of 5780 boats we track. That trails the 66% five-year average for Bowrider in its class by 6 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Starcraft CX 21 FD sheds about 34% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $50,284 it falls to around $30,270 by year five — a five-year loss near $20,014, about $10.97 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Starcraft CX 21 FD bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
