I would have the dealer install them after the fact.

I don't know BB. You doing the job? Yes. Me? Eff no..
It will be cheaper and perfect from the factory. He can add or change anything up to the day it's locked for production. Drilling into the bow of a brand new boat when you don't have to?😳

You are lucky to have Gordys Marine as your servicing dealer. Others may not be as lucky. I wouldn't think twice about having Gordys do the work because of their experience. Other dealers...🤔 Not so much. I know my dealer wouldn't touch that job, at least not for me.😠

I emailed dealer this morning and he indicated we can modify still, add anything I want, up until they lock schedule. He told me I probably have 30 days or so until that happens, so I told him to add the Docking Lights..small as they are, you guys convinced me they are better than nothing at all.

And that is what we do here...spend everyone else's money! Don't feel bad...its happened to every single one of us!

You fit right in! And good call on the lights!

My slip turns out the lights @ 11:00. I use my docking lights almost every time. They really help. Never use them out on the water, but when docking they really light up the slip.

Excellent choice.
It’s really a signature Cobalt look in addition to functionality.

Might want to consider adding the Sport20 battery tender. Makes tending the batteries as simple as plugging in.
What colors interior/exterior?

Dang Cycleman These Cobalt's are getting expensive!! That's more than I paid for my 2016 R7 volvo 380. It's interesting what Cobalt's sell for isn't it!
Great Boat congrats!!!

Great list.
If you want to save yourself $223, ditch the air compressor with holder. They are worthless.
Get one on amazon.

Both my Cobalts had them and I discarded them for the Amazon one. $50 bucks.

Great option selections , CM6!👍🏻
Other than the Cobalt air compressor, (you’ll use the one below most likely by Kwik Tek) , all of those items would be on my short list.
