Per VINdown's modeling, the Stingray 208LR retains an estimated 48% of its value after five years, ranking #5747 of 5780 boats we track. That trails the 66% five-year average for Bowrider in its class by 18 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Stingray 208LR sheds about 12% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $52,191 it falls to around $25,260 by year five — a five-year loss near $26,931, about $14.76 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Stingray 208LR bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
