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 Formula 41 PC holds value best of the range, losing 4.8% a year of age. The Formula 430 Super Sport Crossover loses the most, at 11%.

Which Formula model loses value fastest?
Of the models with enough boats to rank, the Formula 430 Super Sport Crossover loses value fastest, at 11% a year of age.
Why is a Formula model missing a price?
