The orange line is the model's middle price for its age; the shaded band holds the middle half. Tap a number to see the boat behind it. The price scale is logarithmic: each step up is the same percentage.

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.
Each year of age takes about 6.5% off the asking price. This is the biggest single factor.
Twin-engined boats ask about 3.7% more than single-engined ones, age for age.
Asking prices, not sold. Factors can overlap, so treat these as a guide to what the market asks, not a formula.
Time to sell
listed so far: the median of 18 boats seen on two or more dates
have cut their asking price: 2 of 17 boats seen at least 14 days apart
median size of a cut · withheld: fewer than five cuts to measure
These are asking prices, and asking is not selling. Days listed so far is not time to sell: a boat still listed has not sold, and we do not yet record when a listing ends. We have not measured how far sale prices land below asking; the methodology says what we can and cannot measure.

About the Launch 28 GT
The boats behind this page were built between 2005 and 2024 and have been listed since Oct 2020, most often in the US market. 12% 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 20 boats here were listed in the UK, Europe and the US.
