New owner in 2 weeks R30
New owner in 2 weeks R30
Well, we're closing on our 2020 R30 in a couple of weeks and I cannot wait. I haven't even seen it in person yet, and only have a few pics from the factory. It's my first Cobalt and I told my wife it's the last boat we're buying for a long time! This seems like a great forum...I'm looking forward to joining in.

Hey RL. Welcome to the Cobaltchat forum. So glad you found us!
Yes that is stunning.
Twin 8.2’s. Nice set up my friend.
Post some memories from the water my friend. Maybe a quick YouTube vid at WOT.
Again welcome aboard mate!

Welcome. Very exciting!!
Can't wait to hear her screaming down the lake. Nice set up. I can't zoom in enough but do I see shiny Corsa Exhaust?

Beautiful boat should run in the 60’s I would imagine. Post some vid when you take her out.

Thank you...I'll definitely post some more pics and a WOT GoPro video as soon as I get my hands on it! Yes, you can't see in the pics, but the Corsa exhaust is sure in there.

I traded in a Crownline 285 that had the same 8.2 HO and I absolutely loved it. I like the bigger displacement and lower rpm concept.

Re: New owner in 2 weeks R30
Very true. I think on that big of a boat the torgue will show its advantages. 285 is a nice boat too. Again congrats.Richard L wrote: Tue Apr 28, 2020 4:49 pm I traded in a Crownline 285 that had the same 8.2 HO and I absolutely loved it. I like the bigger displacement and lower rpm concept.

One of the most impressive boats on this site.
I would like to see the video.
