What moves the price

Each factor compares boats of the same age, so a newer boat's premium isn't counted twice. Five boats or more on each side, or we say so.

Age

Each year of age takes about 6.8% off the asking price.

About the Carver 530 Voyager Pilothouse

The boats behind this page were built between 1998 and 2003 and have been listed since Sep 2020, most often in the US market. Of the 10 boats that state an engine, 5 list a twin Cummins 450 hp. 11% of the boats seen at least 14 days apart have cut their asking price.

How we measure: we read public listings from brokers and marketplaces, count a boat once when it appears on several sites, store its asking price each time it changes, and restate older asking prices at today's market level. We never republish a listing, a photograph or a seller. Every figure is recomputed nightly and dated; below five boats we publish nothing. The 28 boats here were listed in the US. Full methodology
