2020 R5 order in!

Post by greenhut »

Thanks for all of the advice, feedback, and mockery :) Ordered a 2020 R5 today. Dealer already had an order in, so was able to tweak as we liked - barely. Only concern is the forthcoming R6, but we really like the R5, got the options we wanted, and at a fair price.

2020 R5
VP V8-380CE-DP
Arch with Bimini
Premium Audio w/transom speakers
Trim Tabs with indicators
Sea Grass
Mooring Cover
LED interior accent lighting
Dual Battery with ACR

Interior: Terra Brown
Exterior (Might change): Ebony side, Red knockout, white bottom. Don't like how common it is, but like the colors, and daughter at UGA (plus good for resale).

Delivery expected mid August.

thanks again everyone!

I think it’s a nice build. Same colours as my (to be delivered) R3. I really liked Ebony Hull, white edge stripe with a red bottom, but as I wet slip my boat, Cobalt didn’t recommend the coloured bottom - it can “bloom”, whatever that means.

I got the same exterior color on my 2019 R5 because I'm a UGA grad....it's classic! Pretty much the same build with that 380....you won't regret that. My biggest suggestion is to consider the windless. I know it's very expensive but it's so worth it.

PS- also get the flag kit for your UGA flag! Go DAWGS!

Congratulations! R5 is a Great size for a single. It great you have a minute to decide the color. Here’s some pics of the wizardry we all got to see in December.
