Which hold value best
Share of asking price lost for each year of age. Shorter is better. The tick marks the same type of boat from other builders. Models need 20 boats across six build years, and a consistent fit, to be ranked.
No Bristol model has 20 boats across six build years yet, so none can be ranked. 5 models have 10 or more boats.
