My buddy is getting into the market for a lower-end center console. He just asked me if I had heard of the Bayliner Element F18. I didn't even know that bayliner made a center console. Looks like they come in 16' and 18' lengths. I quickly built one on their website with just about all of the upgrades you could possibly want and the total price came in at $25,000. I told him 18' was a little on the short side for my liking, but other than that...anyone have any info/opinions on them?

Did they seriously put a center console on a pleasure boat hull? Look at the bow. Why on earth would they do that?

Bayliner has been the worst built boat for the last 30 years. I have listened to my dad and his friends use "Bayliner" as the butt of their lake jokes since I was a young boy.

I don't know anything about Bayliner center consoles. However, when we lived in Charlotte, we bought a Bayliner capri to cruise around Lake Norman.

It was in great shape and only paid $5000 for it. Kept it for two years, never had a problem, always ran fine, even skied behind it. Sold it before moving back down South for $5500.

Judging from the comments here, I must of been lucky.
