I have to ask liquid do let the snakes and turtles in your pool?
I do not. In fact I gave the turtle to a turtle sanctuary. Bowser was getting LARGE!
So are you a Sha na na fan that you have your turtle that name?
Mario brothers man, damn.

I saw my first R6 this weekend. I liked it. My two favorite upgrades are (1) you can open the door to the head with the bolster down on the adjacent seat, and (2) you don’t have to remove the floor covering from the walkway when opening the engine compartment.

Would you get an r6 surf or regular stern drive? If surf then get the r6 surf over the R5 surf

We would order R6 Surf. We can get R5 Surf today last one in stock. VP 350 with good options. Still negotiating price, listed at $179,400. Buddy is pushing me to do R5 now and order R6 next season. We figure value won’t drop much plus if you end up just loving the R5 you save $30k-ish. Dealership hasn’t been able to confirm if a new R6 would even get here by august.

My dealer says an R6 order now will deliver at the end of July. But, I'm sure things are changing weekly.

No new boat this year. I plan to water test an R6 once the ice is off the lake. Then I'll decide between an R6 and R6 Surf for next year. But I'm buying $200,000 USD now because our CAD is doing so well.

It’s a boat Bob... Not that big of a deal to test. Both will be fine.
Pick one and buy it..
I ordered our boat without ever setting foot on a Cobalt in the water. It didn’t disappoint.

Agreed because your going to buy #4 r8 by 2023 anyways.
I don't care Bob but when you get the build date we are all meeting you at the factory! And Jeef will show you where to get some great BBQ!
