Every Chris-Craft Catalina 381 built in 1982 that we have observed since Sep 2021, cheapest first in today's prices. Derived facts only: no seller, no listing, month not day.
2 of 5 sit inside the likely range (hollow diamonds). Each boat is placed at its ask in today's prices and labelled with the price as asked and the month we saw it; a cut shows its size, and how long we have seen the boat listed so far. How we measure.

The rest of the run on the same scale, in today's asking prices. The bar is each year's middle half (from ten boats), the tick its median (from five). Years with a page of their own are linked.
The next three years
This boat's estimate carried forward along the model's age curve, if the market holds where it is today. The range is today's spread of boats, carried forward.
The curve is fitted on boats up to 45 years old, so we stop there rather than extrapolate.
Keeping this boat one more year costs about £2,000 in value, before berth, insurance and maintenance.

The 5 boats built in 1982 that we observed asked a median of £16,000 in today's prices. Each boat is counted once, at its latest asking price; these are asking prices, not sale prices.
Is a 1982 Chris-Craft Catalina 381 cheaper than a 1983?
Yes, usually by about 8.2%: 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.
How much will it lose next year?
About £2,000, or 7.6%, if the market holds where it is. That rate is fitted on 27 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.
