Steiger Craft 28 Fisherman keeps an estimated 65% of its value after 5 years — #3145 of 5915 boats VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Steiger Craft 28 Fisherman retains an estimated 65% of its value after five years, ranking #3145 of 5915 boats we track. That trails the 71% five-year average for Fishing in its class by 6 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Steiger Craft 28 Fisherman sheds about 26% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $208,000 it falls to around $135,616 by year five — a five-year loss near $72,384, about $39.66 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Steiger Craft 28 Fisherman bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
