$22k - 2022 Bayliner Element M15 Walkthrough

[@ayannaroberts9858]

Just came from a boat show where this caught my eye! Very nice starter boat especially for the price

[@SA1NT53]

It's honestly pretty crazy how much most of the Bayliners pack in at such a low price. Really makes you look at expensive models in a different light.

[@TheBoatDude]

I agree! You don't have to take out the equivalent of a mortgage to have fun on the water. And I feel the same way about a $20k boat that's 20 years old and has been well maintained compared to a similar one that's $100k and 3 years old. What does $80k buy you? Some fancy touchscreens and a slightly different hull. Not a good value proposition in my eyes.

@@TheBoatDude honestly same, I’m looking at an Element myself, the E21 with a 150 Merc. Cost half the price of a Sea Ray, but comes with the same engine and an easier boat

Throw a mercury 60r race motor on it 😂

Too bad this boat does NOT cost $22k try 35k minimum from these crazy dealers. Trust me I looked. EVERYWHERE.

[@TheBoatDude]

At the time of filming this video at the boat show, the price was $22,300 with an MSRP of $25,400 for the boat exactly as seen in this video. Are you sure the $35k you've seen wasn't for the E18? That price seems much more in line with the larger models.

@@TheBoatDude the lowest I was able to find was a dealer several states away for around $31k. It’s simply just dealer mark ups and supply and demand. Yes the MSRP you mentioned is true, but it’s just available that cheap in real life. And it’s sucks. Cause I want one lol. I decided to repower my current boat with a new outboard instesd.

@@justinstewart3248 Not sure where you're located, but the particular dealer that had it at this price is Strickland Marine.
