Pontoon boats depreciate more slowly than many other boat types, especially quality brands like Bentley, Barletta, and Bennington. A well-maintained pontoon loses roughly 10-15% of its value in the first year, then slows to 5-8% per year. Lake Havasu's dry-storage climate is favorable for resale value — boats here tend to show less wear than comparable boats from humid or saltwater markets.
