Thunderbird Formula 270 SUN Sport keeps an estimated 55% of its value after 5 years — #5588 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Thunderbird Formula 270 SUN Sport retains an estimated 55% of its value after five years, ranking #5588 of 5780 boats we track. That trails the 62% five-year average for Cruiser in its class by 7 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Thunderbird Formula 270 SUN Sport sheds about 9% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $194,820 it falls to around $106,566 by year five — a five-year loss near $88,254, about $48.36 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Thunderbird Formula 270 SUN Sport bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
