Cobalt Boats Forum

I'd love to -

I will say - I think I'd rather have the 430 or the Merc. Still not enough umph on the top end. Lol

She said powered with the 6.0 380

the dealer I purchased from (and yes - we did get the Regal yesterday) - is the Regal and Cobalt dealer. We were coming out of a 2002 Regal 2900 LSR - and I have always loved the Cobalts - but in the end - if Momma ain't happy - no one is happy. I think the video with the Guy and the girl in the R7 ...

Well - I may be dis-owned from the group.

We have 5 kids - we put it to a family vote tonight after looking at both boats and putting it to a vote ----

I was out voted 6-1 - the Regal 2800 over the Cobalt.

We'll be closing on it tomorrow ---

I'll keep everyone posted on how it goes.

Yes it does

My current regal rides WAY better than the R7 or the 2800. Guess the saying is true - they don't make em like they used to...

Didn't get a chance to drive one. Dealer inventory shows in stock - they aren't. I am on the fence - mostly after my wife saw the Regal 2800 and said "it's a lot bigger boat" then the Cobalt. Problem is - you never really hear about a Bad Cobalt experience - many people have coached me - b...

I think it was 3.1 vs 4.4 sec.

Not a huge difference - but enough -

Top end was 3-4 MPH faster. I would have thought more.

I drove a 2015 380. It was a 40kt boat - not a 50 MPH boat -

I drove a regal 2800 - it hit 51 MPH - quickly.

Time to plane was 1.3 sec difference - with the 380 winning out.

I don't think I can justify the cost difference - and yes - you guys can yell at me -

If I'm not pulling one of the kids - then the boat has 2 speeds - STOP and WOT -

I like to get there - fast

I called Cobalt yesterday and they have all of this - I bet I could have asked him better questions to get those. Note the HP in the engine options for the R7. 300 and 350? I'm not getting what you are saying here.. I called Cobalt to get the info on the Time to Plane and top end (WOT) - for the 38...

Amy insight on the Cobalt accent lighting. Do they sell it as a Kit - wonder if it's easy to install?

And you're very correct. There is little to no storage. The A25 has more than the R7.

Not sure I'm going to like that about giving up my regal.

I actually love the built in coolers on the newer boats - my cooler in my regal is 15 years old but I have always hated it. I love the ability to pull a plug and let it drain - I'm confused because the HP is greater on the 6.0 vs the 6.2. Am I missing something? I must say - I'm not unhappy with the...
