Maybe it is just me, but the arms on the seats with the square sticking design look cheap. I can't see that holding up long-term.

Did anyone else see the video of the rest dear storage? I can't link it here... But under a portion of the rest sun pad is a the blow up style swim mat... It roll up and is stored under the seat with a pump.

Maybe it's just me, but the target market for this boat isn't tying up in party cove, pounding beers all day on a Lilly pad?!

I'm not sure about the 2-tone interior as a whole. The helm--I'd need to see it in person. One thing that does draw my attention is the 45 degree corners on the hand holds and the arch and a few other places Rule #1 on a boat---no sharp corners (at least offshore anyway)---sharp corners lead to injury if you are thrown into them. I also think that based on the pics shows the arch looks way out of proportion, almost like an afterthought...I like it better without the arch.

It's probably way out of my lifetime achievement list, but based solely on a few pics in this threat, I think I'm ok with that.

Post of the week!! Hahahahaha

And a single screw for a 29 foot boat?! Da fu....I already made a call on a Cruiser 338. Better cuddy, fit and finish look within range and it will handle 95% of my needs. I can add a pump and store my paddle north deck myself with np. Oh, did I mention twin screws with joystick?

A7 is killing it !! And uh yeah that wheel will take a minute or two to loce it.

We were just there ?? Where did they hide this?? What secret squirrel section of the Cobalt factory could we have possibly missed?? Geeze we where everywhere and some places we shouldn’t have been!! Amazing..


So far I’m a fan of the interior seating fabric, as edge wear , and cover rubbing has been reduced so I’m thinking. Plus it looks cool.

Teak flooring is awesome As you can rinse it on a hot day or a Cheeto spill.

Storage for easy exiting makes sense. When your loading up , and you want to leave fasssst!

I’m disappointed that the passenger , and port side passengers will endure Constant wind underway unless the bow glass and blocker is in place. ??
What nobody boats at night or cool mornings ??,or maybe it makes sense in Miami ?

So far I enjoy the direction they’ve gone for day boating. But with a 29 foot big nose they need to hopefully offer a bowthruster ( like Regal ) or twins as that’s a lot of $$ to be bouncing off docks.

Maybe a smaller.. sportier version is next 😎 exciting!

Seriously. We were in evvvvvvvverything.

Smaller. Say like a 19 ft or so. Then we’re doing boners.

Fellas you are forgetting they said they had 11 buildings
...some away from the main campus. Were weren't in all of them. They have the old marker one building that is probably used for the A29 now!

So true..
If we ever have another get-together down there, we are sending in a crack crew a week before to see what they are moving around town..

Yeah, Teri and I passed by their other facilities on the way out. They had several big boats sitting around outside. And remember Dane told us they built the big boys off location.

The place we passed looked pretty ratty so I'm sure it's why they don't include it into a tour. And maybe they are talking expansion at the main factory so they can bring all production under one roof. It makes a lot of sense from a management standpoint.

And that wheel is fugly.

Yep.. they did the same with the 296 and current R30 as a single offering. Hopefully they’ll add it as it’s a 9 ft beam. And twin big blocks are a stable in 8.6 bream boats.

No online catalog yet.

You would think their product launch boat would be completely decked out with twins and joystick control. This has me to believe it will only be a single motor boat. If that is the case. BIG MISS!

I like the Bow Cover Fiberglass pole inserts for a sail cover. Be a good add on any model. Drill some flag pole mounts.

Here’s the A29. No tower.
