The 2026 Bayliner Element E18 is an 18-foot fiberglass bow rider built for versatility on the water. Powered by a Mercury 115 four-stroke outboard with aluminum propeller, it accommodates up to nine people and carries a 12-gallon fuel capacity. The hull features an 18-degree deadrise with a draft of approximately 12 inches, weighing roughly 2,000 pounds dry and 2,750 pounds with trailer.
The boat comes equipped with a Bimini top for sun protection, waterproof AM/FM stereo, and a ski tow arch for water sports. A mooring cover is included for protection when not in use. The layout suits cruising, fishing, and watersports equally well, with practical open-cockpit design typical of the runabout category.
Transportation is handled by a Karavan single-axle bunk trailer with swing tongue. When trailered, the boat stands 5 feet 6 inches tall and measures 8 feet 6 inches wide, with a total storage length of 21 feet 10 inches—dimensions that make it manageable for towing and storage.
