Yamaha VX C Bowrider Depreciation & Resale Value

Yamaha VX C keeps an estimated 73% of its value after 5 years — #1227 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Yamaha VX C retains an estimated 73% of its value after five years, ranking #1227 of 5780 boats we track. That is 7 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 VX C sheds about 3% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $9,733 it falls to around $8,080 by year five — a five-year loss near $1,653, about $0.91 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Yamaha VX C bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
