Thunder Jet 186 Rush keeps an estimated 74% of its value after 5 years — #1020 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Thunder Jet 186 Rush retains an estimated 74% of its value after five years, ranking #1020 of 5780 boats we track. That is 8 points above the 66% five-year average for Bowrider in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Thunder Jet 186 Rush sheds about 11% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $31,683 it falls to around $23,477 by year five — a five-year loss near $8,206, about $4.50 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Thunder Jet 186 Rush bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
