Cobalt had to switch to the Fusion head unit because RF was hit by the chip shortage - they made the full switch over starting end of Feb/beginning of March.NW Dave wrote: Wed Apr 14, 2021 10:05 am Thanks Sierra588. My boat came with a Fusion head unit. I was expecting Rockford and was confused by that as well but none of the literature or Design my Dream Boat mentioned brand. I'm not very familiar with Fusion. Is that the brand used in Malibu or just a new replacement for Rockford in the R6? Other than taking longer than expected to power on, it worked fine overall.

Congrats! Great looking boat. We’ve got our R5 Surf up in Kenmore. What a great week to get the boat in the water! Can’t wait to get out on Lake Washington this weekend

Thanks Fin! You are close by for sure! Please send any pointers to places to go, see, hang out, etc. as we are having a blast just being on the water. This week was AMAZING up here in the Pacific Northwest. Incredible weather and low winds. We've taken her out practically every day so far and loving every minute of it!Fin wrote: Fri Apr 16, 2021 6:04 pm Congrats! Great looking boat. We’ve got our R5 Surf up in Kenmore.
