Would she be underpowered with a 300 horse?

[ForeverCobalt]

$197532 listed as Retail on the build sheet but that includes a $10K trailer

[ForeverCobalt]

I asked about the 300hp and the dealer said rhe 350 merc would only add maybe 1.5 MPH

[Big Block Power]

Why do people think more hp is all about top end speed!

[dustinm]

Why do people think more hp is all about top end speed!

because they WONT post the torque curves!!!! Or have never felt that BB kidney punch

You need to go here https://cobaltboats.com/design-your-dream/ build a few boats with the options that you want and go from there.

@Big Block Power, not sure if you mean it is a good deal or not. We have only put down a deposit so there is still time I just dont want to beat up the dealer unnecessarily, I can appreciate that he has to make some money but also dont want to pay top dollar

[ForeverCobalt]

@Dustinm we did build a few and this boat has some options we didnt choose to save cost we built ours for $186,848

Looking at the other sheet the dealer provided:
Base price $133,962 with $54,687 options

[dsthomas]

The R6 is as heavy as my R7, my r7 has a 380 in it. Never felt it was under powered. A 350 I don’t know probably be fine, but 300 hp I for sure would NOT do, just saying, food for thought, BB is right, it’s not all about top end speed, it’s about getting on plane and being able to pull a skier or tubers. The new R series boat are heavy beasts!

[ForeverCobalt]

dsthomas: I agree it is something I am contemplating, but from what I read the Merc 350 with the supercharger is having some issues. I would love to hear from someone with a Merc 300 and if there is anyone that actually has a 350?

Honestly you can be the only 1 that thinks it's a good deal. Some guy paying msrp thinks he got a great deal because he didn't have to pay over msrp. As long as you are Hadley it's a great deal.
