Per VINdown's modeling, the Yamaha 255XD retains an estimated 83% of its value after five years, ranking #62 of 5915 boats we track. That is 17 points above the 66% five-year average for Bowrider in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Yamaha 255XD sheds about 13% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $127,449 it falls to around $106,165 by year five — a five-year loss near $21,284, about $11.66 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Yamaha 255XD bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
