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 Trader model has 20 boats across six build years yet, so none can be ranked. 2 models have 10 or more boats.

Questions about Trader prices

How much does a used Trader cost?

A used Trader asks a median of £128,500 across 34 boats listed since Oct 2020, in today's prices. The middle half ask between £86,500 and £204,000. These are asking prices, not sold prices.

Does a Trader hold its value?

Across the range, a used Trader loses about 3.5% of its asking price for each year of age, against 5.9% for the same types of boat from other builders.

Why is a Trader model missing a price?

We publish a model once five boats have been listed. 20 models are listed above with their count so far, including the Trader 41, the Trader 42 and the Trader 42 Signature, and will get a published figure when they reach five.
