The field

Each number is one boat: its asking price in thousands of pounds, at today's market level, set above the year it was built. Tap a number to see the boat behind it. The price scale is logarithmic: each step up is the same percentage.

8 boats is too few to draw a middle line. We draw one once 20 boats span six build years.

Gauge Estimate · withheld

Only 4 comparable boats within 3 years of 1993. That is too few to estimate from.

The model's overall median is £384,000€453,000$476,000 across 8 boats. We'll publish an estimate for 1993 once five comparable boats have been listed.

03

By year built

Median from five boats; middle half from ten. Below that we print nothing rather than a guess. Linked years have their own page with that year's boats. The spread is drawn on the field's logarithmic scale, in pounds.

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.

Age

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 Magnum 53

The boats behind this page were built between 1982 and 1995 and have been listed since Apr 2021, most often in the US market. 20% 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 8 boats here were listed in Europe and the US.
