Weldcraft 280 Cuddy King keeps an estimated 73% of its value after 5 years — #1138 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Weldcraft 280 Cuddy King retains an estimated 73% of its value after five years, ranking #1138 of 5780 boats we track. That is 11 points above the 62% five-year average for Cruiser in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Weldcraft 280 Cuddy King sheds about 9% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $162,912 it falls to around $119,414 by year five — a five-year loss near $43,498, about $23.83 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Weldcraft 280 Cuddy King bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
