Per VINdown's modeling, the Velocity 260 Bay retains an estimated 63% of its value after five years, ranking #3636 of 5780 boats we track. That is roughly in line with the 62% five-year average for Cruiser in its class.

Most of the loss lands early: the Velocity 260 Bay sheds about 16% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $208,976 it falls to around $131,236 by year five — a five-year loss near $77,740, about $42.60 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Velocity 260 Bay bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
