Starcraft SLS 3 keeps an estimated 65% of its value after 5 years — #3089 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Starcraft SLS 3 retains an estimated 65% of its value after five years, ranking #3089 of 5780 boats we track. That is roughly in line with the 66% five-year average for Bowrider in its class.
Most of the loss lands early: the Starcraft SLS 3 sheds about 29% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $54,558 it falls to around $35,517 by year five — a five-year loss near $19,041, about $10.43 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Starcraft SLS 3 bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
