Yea baby. I go back may 4th also. The reason they didn't do today is unemployment goes a full week at a time. So with What the feds is giving us extra you can't afford to loose that. So let's get back to making boats on Monday baby!!! It sure would be nice to know where in the process they are on yours?

I have been waiting on my boat to be finished. Have been told by my dealer they are planning to pick it up first thing next week so sounds like May 4th is the date that they will resume! The boat must have been at the very end of production before they shut down. First boat and first Cobalt so can’t wait to get it - R5 Surf on the way!

Now that is good news also, glad to hear it.

I'm not sure where mine is in the build process. At the start of the shutdown, I inquired, but they said the factory was shut, and I'm sure there were many other much more pressing matters than where my little blue/gray boat was!

Maybe middle of next week I'll inquire again. Today, we are going to break down and get the little jet boat out and at least get a little boat fix.

Apparently there were several boats that were poking their way out the door when they pushed them back in and shut it down. Called the dealer today and their rumor was ours was shipping today should see it this week.

Crossing fingers!

How lucky are you guys!!

Dealer said it shipped yesterday (5/5/20) Factory opened on 5/4. It must have been on the way out the door when they shoved it back in and closed the door at the start of the shutdown.

Dealer called today and said they have the boat in their parking lot. Said he would get me a tease pic as soon as he could - said it’s still wrapped in the white plastic. Planning to go pick it up this weekend.

Neither of those things!

Well... she made it. (at least to the dealer!)

Isn't it beautiful!
You'all should be so happy, at least I can now post a pic of a Cobalt!

Wow, the new vinyl wrap option needs some tweaking I think....

kidding, can't wait to see her unwrapped.

Nice understated color with a tasteful logo. That trailer is gonna be a handful though!

I hope it's ready for the weekend!
