Starcraft LX 18 R keeps an estimated 64% of its value after 5 years — #3340 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Starcraft LX 18 R retains an estimated 64% of its value after five years, ranking #3340 of 5780 boats we track. That trails the 66% five-year average for Bowrider in its class by 2 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Starcraft LX 18 R sheds about 33% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $23,118 it falls to around $14,772 by year five — a five-year loss near $8,346, about $4.57 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Starcraft LX 18 R bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.

Around 1 year old: that is just past the steepest depreciation, so you skip the biggest drop while the value curve is flattening.
