Bayliner Element E18 keeps an estimated 75% of its value after 5 years — #854 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Bayliner Element E18 retains an estimated 75% of its value after five years, ranking #854 of 5780 boats we track. That is 9 points above the 66% five-year average for Bowrider in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Bayliner Element E18 sheds about 8% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $32,350 it falls to around $24,327 by year five — a five-year loss near $8,023, about $4.40 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Bayliner Element E18 bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
