Tidewater 198 CC Adventure keeps an estimated 73% of its value after 5 years — #1157 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Tidewater 198 CC Adventure retains an estimated 73% of its value after five years, ranking #1157 of 5780 boats we track. That is 3 points above the 70% five-year average for Fishing in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Tidewater 198 CC Adventure sheds about 9% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $45,000 it falls to around $32,940 by year five — a five-year loss near $12,060, about $6.61 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Tidewater 198 CC Adventure bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
