Yes I did. The boat was amazing. The 240 surprised the hell out of me with the hole shot. I didn't have a chance to get a picture of it in the water though. After our test drive it started raining and rained the entire next day also. Here is a picture of us taking delivery of it though.

I think a lot of the hole shot of the new Volvo motors is they can put shorter gearing in the drives due to the higher reving motor. This is now my second Volvo duo prop and my 6.2 has way more low end than my 8.1 had. And it is not even close. The major difference I see is my old 262 would get up close to 60mph. Where my new R7 tops out at low 50s. which would indicate shorter gearing in the drive.

And congrats on taking delivery! looking good standing next to that shiny new red boat

That would make sense. I did open it up once and with 5 people in the boat I got to 46. Still not bad at all.

And thank you very much.

We all get along very well here.
Mrs. Nauti and Mr. Nauti and the ugliest person in the world are always welcome on my boat.
I will say always respect the better halves on any interweb.

So happy for you! Beautiful boat. I bet you got a ton of compliments. These boats are real lookers. Dang 46 MPH already?? That is booking it. I was too scared to open for a long time (due to all this break in y’all) but I did a burst and I got it up to the mid 40’s pretty quick. Hopefully you get some good weather soon. I thought the stereo was great even with the factory “flat” eq. I haven’t even adjusted it.

No way you didn't do the wot. You just voided your warranty. Lol.
That's a sharp boat. Fireman by chance. Lol
You need to stand on the other side of the pacman arch though.
Congrats on getting her out.

Glad to hear. Sorry to TTU for the threadjacking. Hopefully we can get back to the anticipation of some water shots of his new boat!

I agree. The stereo really did surprise me. I think I am still going to add a 10 or 12 with two tower speakers also. Just needed a little more kick for me. If you don't mind me asking, why brand are the interior lights that you have. After seeing yours, it is a must that I install those also.

Cobalt installed those at the factory. I would add those, the transom lights, and the blue light underneath. Looks so awesome!

My dealer told me they could order the parts but only if they installed the kit. Although I've learned my dealer doesn't seem to want to sell any parts that they don't install.
