Re: First time buyer: how do I learn about all the Cobalt options?

Ah, this is so helpful, thanks guys!

I've thought it over and I think for my first boat I'm going to go with the CS23. Maybe in a few years I'll want to trade it in and upgrade to something like the R series, but the CS23 feels like a better "beginner" boat.

Next big question is figuring out the engine! Someone posted a prop chart for the R3, how could I find the same thing for the CS23?

And once I pick the HP, what's the difference between a Volvo and a MerCruiser?

And then there's a bunch of engine 'enhancements', I have no idea what any of these are:
- Active Trim
- Anti-Corrosion
- DTS
- EVC
- Ocean-X
- Seacord
- Towmode

Is there somewhere I should be able to find more details about all these?

I suggest going to the Volvo and the mercury website and do some reading on those options.
Congrats and good luck.
