A model specific to Bayliner
After the launch of the Element M15 and M17, small open shells very fun, whose test we presented to you in 2021 bayliner introduces a third, larger model, the M19. Unlike the previous two models, which were both developed by Quicksilver and Bayliner, the two powerboat brands of the Brunswick Group, this new model will only be offered by Bayliner.
A family friendly and easy to navigate program
The Element M19, at 5.79 m long and 2.29 m wide, is longer, but retains the same main beam as the M17. It is intended for the same program, namely to offer an accessible and easy to drive open hull for family outings or with friends. This model has the famous gull wing hull, which ensures stability when sailing. With room for 8 people, it offers a different deck plan from its smaller brothers, with even more comfort and interesting tricks.
A clever cockpit with plenty of seating
At the stern, the bathing platform remains of good size despite the outboard motorization. There is a swim ladder on the starboard side, as well as access to the cockpit. The rear bench seat has a backrest on a rail. Simply move it by pulling a handle to obtain a large sunbathing area facing the sea, or in the cockpit. The cockpit offers a wide range of seating options, thanks to the addition of planks and cushions. The co-pilot's seat can be transformed into a chaise longue, and can be further enlarged by removing the backrest.
A table can be installed either in front of the aft bench seat or at the bowrider level. Thus, the front cockpit can be arranged either as a U-shaped dinette or as a full sunbathing area with backrest. Three people can thus take place facing the sea.
Storage and sun protection
The cockpit located on the starboard side is simply fitted out with a pilot's seat that can be raised, protected by a windscreen with a central opening. There is plenty of storage space on board, and a locker will be installed in the port side console. A large bimini protects the cockpit, from the cockpit to the rear bench seat.
An attractive price
Presented with its maximum power of 115 horsepower Mercury, the M19 is marketed at 28,000 euros TTC with an 80 horsepower engine.
