Hello from Canton, MI (Detroit / SE Mich)

[ATX Cobalt]

Welcome from Texas, decisions... decisions...

[Islander208]

Damn, that is nice

[Driller]

Beautiful boat. The stock underwater lights look very similar to mine.

[Table Rockin]

Congrats tbully! Exciting times for sure. Was there any conditions on the deal for the traded in boat like keeping it under some number of hours, absence of dings, vinyl damage, etc.?

Clear your calendar and get out there!

[tbully]

Thanks TR. I had provisions in there for general wear and tear (rock chips due to trailering, windlass scratches due to normal usage, etc)

Of course, I was extra extra cautious anyway. One thing that happened is the "T" in Cobalt got caught by (I assume?) a towel. I may end up having to pay for that one. But, honestly, I've read about others having that issue and may fight it as warranty on principle. Other than that, it looks like new.

They might eat a $15 emblem for 2 $150 k boats. Lol

[tbully]

$150 emblem (can you believe it!!??)

They've been helping out with some nickle/dime stuff here and there so if they push the issue I'll cave. (Hope they're not watching! haha!)

Congrats on the new '19! It's definitely a beautiful boat, and it's smaller brother is strikingly similar! You'll love the Captains Call. Even when you don't turn it on, just the deep throaty sound is sweet. Did you decide on the 380 on the 19? I'm curious to hear your seat of pants dyno reaction to the differences. I see your steering wheel is updated for the 19 versus the 18. Notice any other differences?

I broke down and got the 430 on the '19.

I noticed the steering wheel as well.

Others:

• Decorative "thingy" on the back of the captain's chair

• Docking lights (grrr)

• Supports in the engine compartment where you walk in. (Hard to explain....vertical support bar (stainless) where the seagrass is when the engine is closed. There's one on the port side as well

• I think I must have gotten the CE extinguisher option - or there's no difference any more. There's a port to put a manual extinguisher in to the engine compartment without opening. There's also a manual release control for the mounted/automated canister in the engine compartment.

• I opted for the Roswell option so there's an additional sub in the port storage area. There's now a vent that allows the sub to move air out to the cabin now

• Kind of a downer....the felt/suede across the dash is now a soft/rubber feeling material. I kinda liked the "suede" feel.

• Interior LEDs are now RGB. The light/windows in the tower are also RGB....nice touch.

There were a few small items as well but I can't think of them at the moment.

Hope to take delivery next weekend.....

I got the Roswell platinum stereo as well. Did the R7 come with two subs? My R5 only came with one.

[tbully]

Yes. One behind the captain chair and one inside the storage compartment on the left side.

[Tuscany]

Sweet, sweet sweet! Awesome boat my friend..

[tbully]

]Finally took delivery of the '19 last Saturday. So far, everything is perfect except for a minor blemish in the gel that the dealer pointed out to me. They are going to have that fixed this fall.

Another issue was that, while basically loading this thing up with every option, we somehow forgot to add the (above water) swim platform lights! Doh! These are actually quite useful to me. I see the wiring is there already so that'll be added in the coming weeks.

Here's a quick shot:

That's a pretty blue boat!
