Bayliner Element E21 keeps an estimated 75% of its value after 5 years — #952 of 5915 boats VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Bayliner Element E21 retains an estimated 75% of its value after five years, ranking #952 of 5915 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 E21 sheds about 8% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $44,955 it falls to around $33,671 by year five — a five-year loss near $11,284, about $6.18 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Bayliner Element E21 bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
