Yamaha 255XE keeps an estimated 80% of its value after 5 years — #307 of 5915 boats VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Yamaha 255XE retains an estimated 80% of its value after five years, ranking #307 of 5915 boats we track. That is 14 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 255XE sheds about 12% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $115,449 it falls to around $92,012 by year five — a five-year loss near $23,437, about $12.84 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Yamaha 255XE bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
