Starcraft SLS 3 DC keeps an estimated 65% of its value after 5 years — #3071 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Starcraft SLS 3 DC retains an estimated 65% of its value after five years, ranking #3071 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 DC sheds about 14% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $53,450 it falls to around $34,849 by year five — a five-year loss near $18,601, about $10.19 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Starcraft SLS 3 DC bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
