New cobalt - end of season R5

[winniboater]

New to Cobalt. Thanks to all for the experience in this forum as I looked around this summer.

Had a 20’ hurricane deck boat for 15 years on Winnipesaukee in NH. After looking and trying the usual suspects, I was convinced by the ride and quality of the cobalt. Sorry for the dirty boat this was the day of sale and we were on the sales dock before it was cleaned up. The others are me solo taking it back for the winter.

It’s pretty loaded up and has a 350 which for me seems like all the power in the world after a V6 220 hp.

Got 15 engine hours and about 6 days in during September and am very happy with my choice.

Thanks for giving me the confidence to go Cobalt! Can’t wait until next summer and will be cruising this forum to get me through the winter.

Hey WB. Welcome to the CobaltChat forum. So glad you found us!

Great pics of your boat and family. Thanks for posting those.

Yes a small block 350 is a great-true tested engine. She'll work just fine pushing that R5 around. Post a pic of that when you get a chance.

Again, welcome aboard mate!

Let's get some seadek on that platform though. They get slippery.

Congratulations on your new R5. Great lookin’ boat. I have the same setup, and we love it. The only thing we’re missing are tower speakers. #blackboatsmatter
