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!!

Where did you get the ski tower for the back?
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.
hey thanks!! enjoy the new boat, you all will love it!!
I just put a down a deposit on a 2017 E16 60 merc for $13K. Single-owner, only 20 hours runtime, in excellent condition! Pick it up in 2 days.
Nice!!
Nice, I am in the process of trading my Element in towards a new Yamaha Jet boat 195S. Like you, we loved it but it is time for a bigger boat with more options. Looking forward to seeing what you get next.
Greg Carleton thanks! Hope ya get what your after, seems that boats are hard to come by due to the pandemic and factorys shutdown/delayed. We have looked st a couple yamaha’s also. There are a lot of choices for sure!
Trading an E16 in for a 195s is like trading in your Corolla for a new Corvette. You will not be disappointed.
Hey! Love all your videos about the Bayliner. I’m in the market for a element e18 I’m in NY any recommendations for me I’m a beginner! Thanks
hey thanks for watching! it is a great all around first starter boat, main tip i can say is just take your time, be patient and dont let anyone rush you. that to me is the number one reason bad things happen to a boat haha. you cant go wrong with the element series! good luck and hope you get one soon!
Interesting how this vid just popped up. I just bought the Element e18 w/ 90 4S OB and getting ready to take it out for the first time.. any tips on putting it in and taking it out of the water? Also noticed your from MO...Lake of the Ozarks here 😀 Thanks!
Awesome congrats! Ull love it, not the best to take on bigger waves but she will be very stable and it loads easy due to the m hull design!
Very beautiful , it’s sold. Give me a number, I may top that. You said was that 16 footers ? So gouges..
What's the width of the trailer? Love the vids!
hey! off the top of my head i cannot remember sorry, if you go into my bayliner playlist i made a will it fit vid and go over all the sizes...hope it helps!
Do you have any tips for trailering the Element? I have the E18 and find it very difficult especially in choppy waters. Thanks
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!
Sorry the elements hall is not designed for choppie waters at all it is a lake boat ..watch the tahoe t16 vs bayliner and see for your self..sorry
Thanks for review. Where can I find the ski arch
Bayliner dealer only unfortunately
Very nice boat! Did you consider Tahoe T16 before buying the Element? I am unable to decide. Can you advice?
AB SuperUser777 i looked at them yes...but the price point was to good on the bayliner. I am all about nice boats but i didnt want to pay for a brand name. This boat really held up well for is!
Tahoe t16 is the way to go no issues and a way longer warranty on both egine and motor then the crapy bayliner that has tons of issues..sorry
Where do you get all your add one for the boat?
Im sorry, get what?
I live in south Florida... never owned a boat before ... this would be my first .. 2018 .. same boat but smaller hp I think its 60...
She is selling for 12k...
Great condition ..
What do u think should u buy for the ocean?
These will not do well in the ocean, enter coastal water ways should be great but i personally wouldn’t take one out into open ocean
I am considering the 18 ft with 115, do you think the quality is there compared to other manufacturers?
Steve Kunder it is one of the best boats for the price point. You get what u pay for but we had zero issues with motor and zero issues on interior!
buy it
You mentioned the motor. I couldn't tell which motor you had. Did you have the 90hp or the 115hp? I'm thinking of getting this boat and I was wondering if the 90 is fine or do I need to go with the 115?
Bigger is always better

Hey I’m a beginner and we’re in the market for a boat that we can take out on the bay and maybe the ocean. Will this work?
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
If you don’t mind, how much did you sell it for? I’m in the market for a used one and want to make sure I pay a fair price.
Every boat is going to be different based off the options it has. A great starting point that i have used is NADA boat values and then go up from there!
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.
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!
@@midwestbuilds it's only a 4 cylinder but I don't ever plan on getting over 25 MPH. Biggest thing I'm worried about is the landing but it's not steep at all.
yea, sounds like it would be ok being that it isnt steep...a steep ramp that is wet is a bad mix...but sounds like you have a good plan! Hope you get one and can get out on the water!
Whatever the sold price, the new owner got a great deal.
nohowtoplz1 i hope they are enjoying it!
@@midwestbuilds I happened to run across this video... I'm the new owner. Great boat thus far. Well taken care of.
Are you getting a longer Element?
No, it was a great boat but not getting another
Hi, what is the top speed?
it was around 35, check out my nautics trim tab vid. i show gps top speed. thanks!
Not sure if you are still looking at comments but was that boat good for salt water?
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 thanks for the response
How hard is tubing and boarding on it? I have wife and 2 kids. What's too speed?
Very easy to ski, tube, & wakeboard. I ran 3 adults & 1 teen while i wakeboarded on the back. Never had any issues and i didnt have to full trottle to get up. The 75hp does well!
@@midwestbuilds can you pull a tube with 3 or 4 people on one tube? Last question I promise lol
@@codyw4022 ur fine, and im not sure. Always just pulled one at a time. There are lots of back and forth opinions on pulling from the factor arch. I never had any issues but a person may run into some with more than one person. If your wanting more ppl like that id recommend moving up to the e18 or e21 that comes with the 115 hp engine
How much did you sell it for? Vs how much you bought it for
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
If the dollar store sold a wakeboard boat lol
Its a great affordable boat for someone
How much you get in return?
It held its value pretty good
@@midwestbuilds congrats 👍🏼
We had that junk also.
lol
😭😭😭 I hate to see it go!
we do to! it was the hardest to let go, but the next boat will take that pain away im sure :p
Price for that boat? unknown .
C 19 Commander sold
@@midwestbuilds - I heard inboard boats are better than a boat with a outboard engine. what you think?
@@c19commander44 everyone has opinions. Ive had them all and i will never own another inboard/outboard. For many reasons such as maintenance, the huge prop and outdrive hanging off the bavk, etc…i am however hooked on the inboard jet bosts like our last yamaha. Just amazing! But outboards are usually diy maintenance, no worries of freezing up in winter, and u always know where the engine is haha (direction and tilt) cause u can see it. But everyone has their likes!
Agree. and i am thinking of a boat with Inboard engine.
@@c19commander44 nothing wrong with any of them. Just personal opinion. Good luck!
