A year of ownership
Each at its Gauge Value, on a South Coast marina berth. An estimate in pounds from published rates, not a quote.
Each line is the middle of the cited range, to the nearest fifty pounds. Depreciation is a year of age on each model's published curve, at its Gauge Value, and stays out of the totals.
The Jeanneau Sun Fast 3200 has no published depreciation curve, so its depreciation is withheld.
Fuel is left out of both totals: for each model, fewer than three of its listings give the engine power.

How do you compare them like for like?
We compare boats of the same build year. For each of the 7 years both models have boats in, we take the ratio of their median asking prices in today's prices, then pool the years, giving more weight to years with more boats on both sides. The figure is Indicative because the thinner side has 12 boats in those years. The Gauge Values compare the whole fleets instead, so they mix boats of different ages.
