Re: What is this thing?

Is looks like a thing a m'jig. But seriously, if it's not yours then it likely fell out from under the dash. I would send a picture of it to Brian at Arrowhead service and see what he thinks.

Yes, with any luck, as prices continue to climb.

Re: Six Months Early

Will be on the look out for Revenge this summer. I have several good friends over on C dock and so may see you there as well. Glad to hear that the Arrowhead guys took care of you. I have always had good experiences with that crew. Happy Memorial Day Weekend to you!

Re: Six Months Early

Yes, not much time to mess around. Interestingly, because I am waiting on a dock to be built I will keeping the new boat in what I believe will be the same slip that you were in for a bit. They have agreed to let me keep her there until the dock is finished. I look forward to seeing you out on the w...

Six Months Early

Got a call from my salesman today. His regional Cobalt rep called with a build slot for an R30 with a delivery in July/August. Previously I had build slot with a November delivery date. It will be a 2022 instead of a 2023 but we will be able to enjoy the boat for a big part of the 2022 boating seaso...

Re: Snap OR Mooring Cover

I'm a mooring cover guy. My 276 only takes a few minutes to install the mooring cover and it survives open lake squalls that hit our dock. Snaps cheapen the look of the boat and can get in the way. But this thread proves why Cobalt offers both. Happy Easter all!

Re: So who has owned a Cobalt boat the longest?

So, it's complicated. As a kid growing up my dad bought a new Cobalt 16 (1976 I think) and then quickly realized it was too small and traded for a Cobalt 18 a few months later. That boat was a tri-hull design and powered with a 225 OMC. It would easily hit 60 plus miles an hour. In fact, I still rem...

Re: Expected R30 Speed with 380s

Yes, thanks. Have enjoyed the 276. I hunted for a used R30 with no luck (even had a deposit on one in Texas that sold out from under me) and so decided to order a new one. With COVID delays it will not ship until November. We have a place on the Langley bluff but many friends in the Coves. Enjoy you...

Re: Hard Top on 2016 R30

I was pondering the same question when considering a 2016 R30. I was told that it was possible by a salesman that conferred with a factory rep but that it would be expensive and require extensive modifications. I was persuaded to pass. Good luck!

Beautiful boat! Did you purchase from Arrowhead Boat Sales? I think that I saw your boat at the sales dock last week. Enjoy!

That's helpful. Thanks.
