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.
No Gibson model has 20 boats across six build years yet, so none can be ranked. None has 10 boats yet.

Questions about Gibson prices
How much does a used Gibson cost?
A used Gibson asks a median of £52,000 across 45 boats listed since Sep 2020, in today's prices. The middle half ask between £38,000 and £63,500. These are asking prices, not sold prices.
Does a Gibson hold its value?
Across the range, a used Gibson loses about 2.0% of its asking price for each year of age, against 5.9% for the same types of boat from other builders.
Why is a Gibson model missing a price?
We publish a model once five boats have been listed. 10 models are listed above with their count so far, including the Gibson 44 Standard, the Gibson 12 x 42 and the Gibson 41 Sport, and will get a published figure when they reach five.
