Questions about American prices

How much does a used American cost?

A used American asks a median of £139,000 across 8 boats listed since Sep 2020, in today's prices. These are asking prices, not sold prices.

Does an American hold its value?

We don't publish a rate for American yet. We rate a range once 20 boats across six build years of the same models have been seen. We have 8 American motor boats across 6 build years so far. Motor boats from other builders lose about 5.9% a year of age; that is the nearest figure we publish, not American's own.

Why is an American model missing a price?

We publish a model once five boats have been listed. 4 models are listed above with their count so far, including the Grand Banks 36 Classic, the Alaskan 49 and the Grand Banks 32, and will get a published figure when they reach five.
