I had never heard of Puppyoo before tonight, but I'm glad I looked it up. Might have to order one of these. Hopefully they have updated the app since this review was written.

I wonder if the R6/8 are the last gen of Cobalt before they start exploring different power options? Perhaps a EcoBoost Powerplant from Indmar or maybe something EV...or I guess EB for Electric Boat?

Speaking of Batteries, Liquid have you considered if a dyson Stick Vacuum could solve your issues? I mean of course thunder is crazy for suggesting your just drop your standard upright vacuum into the pool, the cord would be such a limiting factor, but what about something cordless? Katie bought a Dyson V8 last year and loves it. It does a great job for cleanups around our house, I don't see why it couldn't work in your application as well.

Now as to no head, no sink, no alcohol? I don't understand that rule. What could that possibly mean? Who came up with that rule and why? Did a drunk RuleMaker get stuck out on a boat with a need to upchuck and no place to wash his face? Odd.

We should discuss further...

I don't understand the rule either YT, but these are Canadians we are talking about.

Step 1 is determining how detailed this rule is. For example, could I purchase a large 5 gallon bucket at Lowes and keep it in the engine compartment? When the Canadian Mounted Police do their boat inspection I could just point to that and say it serves as both my head and sink...because really what cant you do with a 5 gallon bucket?

This raises a large issue, how do the Canadian Royal Mounted police patrol the water? Can their horses swim?

I believe this is standard issue Canadian water patrol attire

As to drinking regulations, if memory serves, in Canada we need to have a head and a sink to have open liquor on a boat. Inland lake enforcement is by RCMP and/or Coast Guard. In busier inland areas, the RCMP/Coast Guard has in the past "deputized" people working for Department of Natural Resources which oversees beaches (beach patrol) and I was once stopped close to shore for pulling two youth on a tube behind a 3 seater Sea Doo (lost count - the total can only be one in the tube because you need a spotter where I boat). I was issued a warning.

A poll of the female friends I boat with last night shows little need for a head. Most said they wouldn't use it and would be asked to be taken back to shore/clubhouse. Anyway, storage, head, changing room for kids - lots of space in there.
