Yamaha SX250 keeps an estimated 78% of its value after 5 years — #383 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Yamaha SX250 retains an estimated 78% of its value after five years, ranking #383 of 5780 boats we track. That is 12 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 SX250 sheds about 2% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $67,229 it falls to around $58,834 by year five — a five-year loss near $8,395, about $4.60 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Yamaha SX250 bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
