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.
The Chaparral 240 Signature holds value best of the range, losing 7.0% a year of age. The Chaparral 290 Signature loses the most, at 8.0%.
