    Really loved all the bayliner videos. Took my new 2020 Bayliner Element e18 out yesterday. It has a 90 on the back and did a lot of upgrades you suggested. I did get the flooring you recommended and love it. The 4 little pieces for the top were a little big but made them work and looks real good. The boat handled awesome and with 4 adults in the boat the 90 motor was more than enough power. The engine is so quiet and you can hear the stereo really good when cruising. My last boat had an 3.0 Mercury inboard motor and it was pretty loud. Boat is very stable with so much room and the cushions are very comfortable. I really like not having a window and having that open view. My boat looks pretty much like yours except I got the grey flooring. Only thing I want to do next time is leave the center cushion that’s in front of the motor out. It just gets in the way. Also I took all the stickers off like you did. Once again Thank You for all the videos. Learned a lot. Looking for your next boat videos!!

      Brian Cantu hey thanks! U sound pretty much dead on with everything, we loved all those things as well, even that rear seat being removed makes a huge difference in room. Glad to hear the 90 horse is working for ya, they are sooo quite. It was a hard boat to get rid of! Thanks for watching!!

    Thanks for all the cool tips on the e16, learned a lot from you. Your videos helped me & my wife get our 2019 e16😂.
    So glad you’re looking at a bigger boat.
    It’s all about investing in building memories with your family out on the water.
    Look forward to your drone shots of your boating adventures.

    Do you have any tips for trailering the Element? I have the E18 and find it very difficult especially in choppy waters. Thanks

    • @midwestbuilds
      @midwestbuilds  Před 4 lety +1

      are you asking about loading the boat on the trailer during rough water? if so, i found that leaving more bunk out of the water helps a ton. for me i back the trailer in but still have some wheel fenders showing out of water, this way the boat can catch the bunks better/sooner. then wench it on. all boat ramps are different, but if you watch my "memorial day weekend 2019" vid you can see the loading at 2:51 or so. smooth water, rough, or even side current and this has worked, judging your drift just takes practice. also, another great idea i have done in the past is buy trailer guides that mount on the end sides of the trailer, they help keep the boat centered as well and are pretty cheap!

      Mendy Furst ive heard of some doing so, but if ur a first timer then i would stay away from it. A little to small and very close attention has to be paid to water and weather conditions around the ocean. Inland waters and lakes it is great! A good first time boater learner

    Do you think a Chevy equinox would pull the E16? Dock is only about 3 miles away on back roads with a super easy landing! Not steep at all.

    • @midwestbuilds
      @midwestbuilds  Před 4 lety

      Joel Solsrud sounds like it would be a good set up for it. I cant remember if the equinox is a 4 cylinder or a 6..but the element is a great boat to tow with a smaller vehicle. Its pretty light!

      I have spoke with a lot of people who use them down around Florida. They seem to work good for them, but u will probably want a longer version such as the 21 footer for rough water. These motors have a easy flush port for a hose also

    • @midwestbuilds
      @midwestbuilds  Před 3 lety +1

      Matthew Flips the boats value held pretty decent, not much lost on the price vs its age. I was pretty happy there, the money lost is the investment for accessories (flooring, speakers, trim tabs, etc...) which is pretty normal with anything i guess. Im not sure how the larger models would hold value, the 18 to 21 footers seem pricy if u plan to resale or finance for longer periods
