What Affects Motorboat Prices?

Engine Hours

Motorboat engines accumulate hours faster than sailboat auxiliary engines. A petrol engine with 500+ hours or a diesel with 2,000+ hours will be priced lower. Engine replacement costs $15,000–$50,000 per engine, so factor this into your offer.

Fuel Type

Diesel-powered motorboats hold their value better than petrol. Diesel engines last longer, are more fuel-efficient, and diesel is more readily available at marinas. A diesel motor cruiser typically costs 20–30% more than the equivalent petrol model.

Condition and Maintenance

A well-maintained motorboat with documented service history commands a significant premium. Look for recent engine servicing, new upholstery, and a clean hull. A neglected boat will cost you more in repairs than you save on the purchase price.

New vs. Used Motorboat Prices

A new motorboat loses 20–30% of its value in the first three years. A 5-year-old motor cruiser typically costs 50–60% of its new price. For most buyers, a 3–7 year old used motorboat represents the best value. Read our depreciation guide for more.
