I know it is probably hard to say but what type of depreciation are you guys seeing on 2017 boats? Trying to gauge what trade in would be on a SX210 with ~50 hours. I know a few people here are billionaires and trade up every year lol.
 
2016 AR192 with 70 hrs $24k and $23,500 from 2 separate dealers. I have financed with a low APR step loan and bought boat with $0 money down. Principal is $35,000. So I have -$12k equity. Both salespersons used NADA boat values.
 
NADA has changed and only shows suggested list price , average retail and low retail


Boat dealers may pay some type of fee and get a trade in value that is slightly lower than low retail about 6% under low retail . On the 2016 - 2017 242x 242s e series AR240 any time one comes up for sale in the low retail price point or under they sell in 1-2 weeks when posted on Craigs list

I am actively looking so if anyone is getting ready to trade one in send me a PM willing to travel
