Location: God's Country......USA..... Western Wisconsin | Industry standards do not lie. If purchasing new and I am emphasizing new. Expect the Nitro to depreciate about 40% the first year as opposed to about 17% to 18% for the Ranger. That being said, resale only means something when you sell your boat. If you are going to keep it for a very long time these numbers get closer and closer together. One of my fishing partners has a 1996 Nitro and has a lot of hours on it. Still seems to be in fair shape. He has had some trailer problems, repaired the trailer brakes and has had to replace the upholstry. Carpet is still good and consoles are still pretty solid. It is ten years old and is still a nice boat. |
