Sunchaser 16 LR 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 LR retains an estimated 62% of its value after five years, ranking #3867 of 5915 boats we track. That trails the 66% five-year average for Bowrider in its class by 4 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Sunchaser 16 LR sheds about 31% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $20,595 it falls to around $12,871 by year five — a five-year loss near $7,724, about $4.23 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Sunchaser 16 LR bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
