Cobalt Boats Forum

Thanks for the info. I have an R5 and this may be a good solution coming off the front of the tower/bimini or going across the rear, depending on the sun angle. We spent quite a bit of time anchored and swimming this past weekend and the extra shade would be welcome.

2017 R5 and no vibrations.

Some of the unknown in my equation was Cobalt ships multiple boats on a trailer and needed to pool a full trailer headed towards my dealer.

I have an R5 and pull a 3-person tube and knee board from the pylon. Was initially concerned about the rope dragging through the wake during turns but this has turned out to be a "non issue." Tried the knee board from the tower but the kids liked the pylon better, and it made it was easier to adjust ...

Nice design, boat looks great.

I have the optional air compressor in my 226- it is almost slower than using my breath to pump up tubes for my kids. The thing is a piece of junk- not sure what Cobalt was thinking with this option. Has anyone switched theirs out or have any suggestions besides removing and buying a portable one ...

I have 20.30.40 RTIC soft pack. My 20&30 fit inside the cooler my 40 sits on the cockpit floor. It's not really a big deal for me I put it behind the captains chair and it's out of the way. I actually went out on Sunday and threw in a few hard packs and a large bag of ice and the ice is still ...

I decided to roll the dice and ordered an RTIC softpac 40. It's roughly 17" tall x 18.5" wide x 12" deep. Hoping it fits in the cooler/seat behind the R5 helm. Don't want to carry the hard cooler in the boat anymore. If it doesn't fit I will find a spot for it.

I like the solid lower color because it ties the top/bottom together on the stern. Nice boat and congrats.

Similar to BB, 20 mins to main launch. We dry stack but have a trailer and plan to visit a few sites about an hour away.

Thanks for the comments. Thoughts about the docking lights but skipped them for a few other options. Boat is wired for the lights, maybe something to add in the future.

Finally got a picture of the boat in the water.

Spent the day on the water today. No issues with the sensor.

We want to run the TN river to Chattanooga this summer.

Thought I would pass on a maintenance experience. We have under 10 hours on the boat and last time out picked up an engine caution light and audio. Went through a few iterations of power down, restarts, and a trip to the fuel pump. Caution was intermittent rest of time out but eventually remained on ...
