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.

Either side of 1980

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.

We don't carry this boat forward yet: the Pearson 424 has no published depreciation curve. A curve needs 20 boats across 6 build years; we have 17 boats across 6 build years.
