Cobalt Boats Forum

The R6 has soft trac on both sides (at least mine does).

It's worth the wait!

We got our R6 late last year (just in time for it to be too cold to use it) and have been super happy with it.

Only issue we had was a high temp alarm that kept going off but turned out to be a bad sensor that a mobile tech was able to replace.

So was looking forward to getting the new R6 out and stretch her legs… but alas shortly after launch I have a EVC code.

Spent a good while looking to see if I can find these codes anywhere and my local Cobalt dealer can’t look them up and has scheduled a tech to come look at it in a couple of weeks ...

I ended up ordering the R6 with the 380. Should be here mid October but I won't be surprised if it slips a bit.

I think filler cushions are. They add so much more room. We never remove ours. The table is nice. Must have not really.


Table is on the list as a Wife must have. ;)

Will take a look at the cushions. Hadn't considered those.

You have been a huge help, thanks!


Is easy I like spending ...

So I’m curious... what are the features you like that the R6 has that the R5 doesn’t? I think price wise you’d get a much better deal on a new R5. Is just a matter of wanting the latest newest model? (Totally fine, we want what we want). If u do go R6 I agree 380 hp is a must. I have an r7 Surf ...

Yep transom speakers no matter what.


Makes sense, any other must haves?

This is our first new boat coming from a 1990 Regal 19' so... bug upgrade. :)

No idea but I can tell you even the dealer said they basically won't order the 300 for their inventory boats and highly recommend against it.

Ok, redoing the quote with the 380...

Any recommendations for the sound?

Prem Sound w/Transom Spkrs. is pricey but I have no idea if it's worth it.

Hey netexan. Welcome to the Cobaltchat forum. So glad you found us!

Yes lots of opinions here on the forum about the R6.

Is this your first Cobalt? It’s a sellers market for sure. I’m surprised the boat you’re looking at isn’t sold already.

Go 380 horse and be done.

Again welcome aboard ...

Hey all,

So glad I found this board, lots of great information.

I have a couple of questions about buying a new R6:

* I have been scouring the net looking for opinions on the new R6, usually I wouldn't buy a new model of a car but boats don't change as frequently and I can't see them having a lot ...
