Trading up to an A25 or R5 or R7? I have questions

[Traveller14]

Dang how did I miss the folding part? I assumed they both folded. Glad I asked as I need folding. I'm not sure it doesn't look better anyway.

No skiers in my family. It would have been an expensive Bimini canvas holder for me.
I ordered the EZ fold Bimini, huge coverage, but the factory an out of the slider parts. Still patiently waiting.. Patience set to run out next week.

Tough to imagine a sweeter looking boat line than Cobalt...

The matching hull and bottom IMO is much nicer that the boat colours on the website. Gorgeous boat!

Sounds like you are sold on an R series, but FWIW, my A25 will run 54 with 5 people, cooler, and full gas. 55 with me in it in the way to the ramp. That's w the 400hp VP.

The A25 is a sexy son of a gun. I don't know the differences between the A25, R5, or 7, or any other boat for that matter. I just know when I go by the A25 that's in our Marina it makes my motor gin!

They are good looking boats, R5 hull may be sportier, but honestly I think the space is better used in the A25 layout. We really don't need the on board head in the R5, so thats all space that could be used for storage. Hell in some respects I think the R5 would actually offer less storage space than our current 222.

If you don't use the head, it makes perfect storage.
For our party, the one single thing that interrupts a good time (while not swimming) is when someone has to pee.
Who wants to go to shore when the drinks are flowing?
I won't own a boat without a working, flushing toilet.

Or a lake to pee in.

Haha, you should see my group of friends .. I'm the only semi-non drinker of the bunch...the drinks flow, and so does the pee. None of us swim anymore.
I had enough of the gottapee runs with our last boat. Quick trip to the head, flush clean and ready to keep the party going...
Anyway OP, as you can assume, I highly recommend the porcelain electric toilet option with the 10 gallon holding tank.

Possibly later in life, T.

Right now, all of us are in and out of the lake so much that it never comes up....unless the rare #2 happens to stop by. That happened twice in 15 years. At least this time I have a pump out waste option if needed.

[Tuscany]

I'm witcho there. No pooping in the boat head..If you gotta go #2 now, your best bet is to strip down and jump in

[AsLan7]

Hey Traveller14. Just want to welcome you to the CobaltChat forum as well. So glad you found us!

Beautiful Cobalts you are seeking.

Lots of wisdom here. Regal's are beautiful boat's too. ...but I think you're going to like the Cobalts even more.

Just make sure your watching which way the current is moving.

[Traveller14]

Thanks AsLan7 - the information on the forum is great. For the record - no toilets on any boat we have. That will be storage space i guess.

I hear ya.. I'm hoping for grandchildren...someday..soon... and I know the importance of a potty!
As far as swimming in any open body of water? I guess I have a little too much OCD. It's my swimming pool, or nothing..
