Sunchaser 16 Fish keeps an estimated 62% of its value after 5 years — #3867 of 5915 boats VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Sunchaser 16 Fish retains an estimated 62% of its value after five years, ranking #3867 of 5915 boats we track. That trails the 71% five-year average for Fishing in its class by 8 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Sunchaser 16 Fish sheds about 31% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $22,384 it falls to around $13,990 by year five — a five-year loss near $8,394, about $4.60 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Sunchaser 16 Fish bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
