Warrior V198 DC keeps an estimated 63% of its value after 5 years — #3636 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Warrior V198 DC retains an estimated 63% of its value after five years, ranking #3636 of 5780 boats we track. That trails the 66% five-year average for Bowrider in its class by 3 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Warrior V198 DC sheds about 14% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $81,178 it falls to around $50,979 by year five — a five-year loss near $30,199, about $16.55 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Warrior V198 DC bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
