The 1990 boats
Every Sea Ray 280 Sundancer built in 1990 that we have observed since Oct 2020, cheapest first in today's prices. Derived facts only: no seller, no listing, month not day.
2 of 7 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 1990
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.
The next three years
This boat's estimate carried forward along the model's age curve, if the market holds where it is today. The range is today's spread of boats, carried forward.
The curve is fitted on boats up to 37 years old, so we stop there rather than extrapolate.
Keeping this boat one more year costs about £500 in value, before berth, insurance and maintenance.

Questions about the 1990 Sea Ray 280 Sundancer
How much is a 1990 Sea Ray 280 Sundancer worth?
A 1990 Sea Ray 280 Sundancer is worth about £10,500 in today's asking prices, most likely between £10,500 and £13,000. Based on 14 comparable boats built between 1989 and 1993, 7 of them in 1990.
What do 1990 Sea Ray 280 Sundancers ask?
The 7 boats built in 1990 that we observed asked a median of £10,500 in today's prices. Each boat is counted once, at its latest asking price; these are asking prices, not sale prices.
Is a 1990 Sea Ray 280 Sundancer cheaper than a 1991?
Yes, usually by about 7.4%: each newer build year of this model asks that much more, all else equal. The gap between individual boats is often larger, because hours, VAT status and where the boat lies move the price too.
How much will it lose next year?
About £500, or 6.9%, if the market holds where it is. That rate is fitted on 48 boats across the whole run, not a forecast of the market.
Are these sold prices?
No. Every figure here is built from asking prices seen on public listings. Boats usually sell for less than they ask; we do not yet measure by how much, so we never print a sold price as ours.
