Thanks. I love the sound the gi is just not the same. I had that before this boat in the same hull too. Yea I had bblades do the props.
Where is sailor and snowman? They should post a picture of their boats. I think they are What your looking for. So sharp.

Got the call from the dealer today....boat comes home tomorrow, so will try to get a pic---depending on how clean it is.....

Now for the bad part----snow on Sunday and temperatures in the teens next week at night.....so glad I didn't have them summerize the boat. MN can really suck.

yikes, we'll be in the 40s for the next several days, but that can dive quick depending on the where this cold front lands, also glad she's still winterized.

Have an R5 in Sebago now. Bigger is always better on the lake. We had a chap 226 ssi and it was good on sebago. R5 is better especially on those afternoons when the wind picks up. Best of luck. See you on the lake.

I'm saying not a chance of it if it hasn't been started yet. Really will depend on how fast along it is. Maybe cross your fingers.

The dealer usually has the best information. When I placed my order in late March last year I was told I'd get delivery the 3rd week of June. The boat arrived within a few days of the scheduled date. I didn't want it until July 2nd so it worked out fine. Cobalt has been shut down for a bit. If your dealer has an update from the factory during the shut down, I'd say it is likely reliable. Of course if the shutdown is extended, its anyone's guess. Its hard to wait for a new boat.

FWIW I have an R5 on the coast of RI, so we boat out from Pt Judith into the breakwater (which is more "lake like" in terms of wind chop, etc). Most of the time we then head south down the RI coast to the CT line, or sometimes out to Block Island which is 12 mi offshore. The R5 handles like a breeze on a typical day. We've had some really decent swells and waves which my wife would prefer we're not stuck in, but we both agree we're glad it's in a Cobalt.
