The 5 boats built in 1997 that we observed asked a median of £85,500 in today's prices. Each boat is counted once, at its latest asking price; these are asking prices, not sale prices.
Is a 1997 Catalina Yachts 42 MkII cheaper than a 1998?
Yes, usually by about 3.2%: each newer build year of this model asks that much more, all else equal. The gap between individual boats is often larger, because hours, VAT status and where the boat lies move the price too.

About £2,500, or 3.1%, if the market holds where it is. That rate is fitted on 41 boats across the whole run, not a forecast of the market.
Are these sold prices?
No. Every figure here is built from asking prices seen on public listings. Boats usually sell for less than they ask; we do not yet measure by how much, so we never print a sold price as ours.
