Bayliner Element XL: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The Bayliner Element XL is an evolution of the highly praised original Element, designed to offer a larger and more functional experience while maintaining affordability and simplicity. Targeted primarily at beginners and younger boaters, the Element XL emphasizes safety, ease of operation, and minimal maintenance. Its design incorporates innovative features such as the M-Hull, which enhances stability, reduces bow rise, and simplifies trailering.

Exterior Design and Deck Layout

Measuring 18 feet 2 inches in length overall with a beam of 7 feet 5 inches, the Element XL extends two feet beyond its predecessor, allocating this additional length primarily to the stern area. This expansion allows for two aft-facing loungers that can also be arranged to face each other with ample space in between, enhancing social interaction onboard. All seating is molded into the fiberglass with comfortable cushions, and storage compartments are integrated beneath nearly every seat, except for the port stern seat which houses the standard 12-gallon fuel tank and an optional 6-gallon auxiliary tank with a crossover switch. The boat features non-skid midship boarding areas, swim platforms on both sides of the outboard, and a thoughtfully designed three-step reboarding ladder on the starboard side equipped with a grab handle. The engine wall includes a maintenance platform to facilitate easier access for routine upkeep. Forward, an anchor locker with a lift-and-lock latch provides secure storage.

Helm and Control Systems

The helm is designed with simplicity in mind, reflecting the boat’s beginner-friendly ethos. The control panel is minimalistic, featuring only a speedometer with an embedded voltmeter; notably, the fuel gauge is mounted directly on the fuel tank rather than the helm. The helm seat is fixed and positioned slightly rearward, but Bayliner addresses this with an optional wedge cushion that moves the operator forward for improved visibility and comfort. A basic windscreen is installed, though its current angle directs wind toward the operator’s face rather than over the head, suggesting room for ergonomic improvement. Overall, the electrical and fuel systems are straightforward, reducing complexity and maintenance requirements.

Optional Features and Packages

Bayliner offers several options to customize the Element XL according to user preferences. The sports package includes a sport arch with a higher tow point for wakeboarding, wakeboard racks, and sporty hull side graphics. The standard powerplant is a 90-horsepower outboard, but an optional 115-horsepower Mercury 4-stroke engine is available and was tested on this model. Additional options include a stereo system with a remote control head, filler cushions to convert the bow anchor locker and stern seating into sun pads, and a fishing package that adds a casting deck with a pedestal seat, a trolling motor mount at the bow, a live well beneath the seat, and a fish finder at the helm.

Power and Performance

Equipped with the optional Mercury 115 4-stroke engine driving a 13 1/4 by 17 pitch three-bladed propeller, the Element XL demonstrated a top speed of 41.2 miles per hour with a fuel consumption of 11.1 gallons per hour. At the most efficient cruising speed of 24.7 miles per hour, fuel burn dropped to 3.4 gallons per hour, yielding an estimated range of 119 miles and nearly five hours of operation with a 10% fuel reserve. The M-Hull design effectively minimized bow rise, allowing the boat to plane in 2.8 seconds, reach 20 miles per hour in 4.8 seconds, and 30 miles per hour in 7.8 seconds. Handling is optimized for protected waters; the boat remains level in turns and resists aggressive maneuvers, promoting safety for novice operators. It crosses wakes comfortably, provides a dry ride, and its light weight makes it suitable for tubing and, with lighter loads, water skiing.

Conclusion

The Bayliner Element XL stands out as an accessible, safe, and straightforward boat ideal for beginners and families, particularly those introducing younger boaters to the water. Its simple systems, stable M-Hull design, and practical layout make it easy to operate and maintain. While it offers enough features to satisfy casual recreational use, optional packages allow for customization to suit activities like wakeboarding and fishing. Even experienced captains can appreciate the Element XL’s uncomplicated design and enjoyable handling characteristics. Overall, it presents a compelling package for those seeking an affordable, reliable, and user-friendly entry-level boat.
