2018' Elements w/portside lounge seat

[efarstad]

The 2018 model year 16' and 18' Elements now come with an optional portside lounge seat with cupholder:
Not sure I'm a fan...

yeah....no. Not for me, anyway. I prefer the deck space. The boat already has plenty of seating and lounging space for an 18 footer....even for a 22 footer, LOL.

welp, maybe that lounge seat won't fly off when you trailer the boat. ;-)

I don't hate it, I just don't see the need when there's already 4 lounge seats in the 18'. Now the floor mat in the pictured boat, where can one get that?

That's a $715 factory option that, in my experience in seeing it on other boats, collects dirt, fades, and peels. Not a bayliner issue IMO, but the most well known brand is SeaDek and I have seen those issues on other boats. Not sure if that is the brand that Bayliner uses.

Some people love it, and more power to them. Like the lounge pad...it's not for me.

SeaDeck is indeed the brand Bayliner uses.

It's great when it's new, but I am hearing rumors that it doesn't wear well.

I agree with all the comments. I too like the deck space
