Cobalt Boats Forum

Welcome. Great boat.

I'm on a computer at work in our break room at a casino.
Most of the ads feature extra-large black women.

As the proud owner of a 2019 R3, it seems like a good trade.
So good, in fact, that I would be worried about it. LOL
Our R3 turned 343 hours this past weekend and still runs like a top.

We have a R3. We take off the mooring cover in the spring and put it away until it's time to close the boat. It's not just the time it takes, but also the cost. I don't want to wear it out. I bought a cheaper, light weight cover for under $200. If I accidently tear it, I duct tape on both sides ...

I bought the hand pump that has ...

I purchased a 2019 R3 new (in 2019) with a VP350. It has been an excellent boat (now with 108 hours). It has not needed any repairs and the build quality is rock solid. You won't regret purchasing a Cobalt. As to engine power, the power curves for the VP 300 and 350 are pretty similar until around ...

I didn't notice the remaining fuel option on our Garmins. We're making a trip to the lake in a few hours, and I'll check.

Looking forward to seeing the R35. I too hope you don't regret it.
