Colin aren't you in a different time zone. Quit trying to get me in trouble.

Yup, I'm one hour ahead, so technically I am from the future. That's why I find these listings before you.

Boat is located in Quebec. So technically it is a French boat. Maybe the helm is in the middle? I'll post the link along with an English translation for folks.

If anyone is interested, but has comcerns about importing a boat from Canada to the US, it's a piece of cake. I've done the import / export process on three vehicles for personal use. It's a great way to save by playing the FX game. Your USD goes a little further up here in Canada.

I laughed at several things in this comment.

AsLan, he may not face the same issues we do on Lake Erie. Our lake isn't normal, or remotely predictable from hour to hour.
You should have SEEN the waves on the lake this past weekend. Outside of the breakwall in Buffalo, they were absolutely incredible. Not angry, just huge. What a blast, and we were thrilled we put the boat in the water in Buffalo instead of our usual place 15 miles down the lake. I think small boats would have been in a heap of trouble.

Ontario is like this as well. I generally stick to the Finger Lakes because of this.

I was talking to this guy in the adirondacks camping this weekend who was a very early adopter of Windsurfing - used to race professionally in the infancy of the sport. He said they had this big competition on Ontario where all these guys came from California and around the world to race and they couldn't fathom that they were on a Lake. Waves & the changes hour to hour had them dumbfounded.

I could definitely see the R series stay the sporty bowriders while the A series moves a bit more toward a Riva or other more classic design. I can't imagine they'll turn their backs on old folks with money to burn

When we were in Naples Fl this past winter, I had the opportunity to stop at The Boat House inc.
They had an R3/7/30/35/40 Coupe in stock. No A models to look at.
The 7 and 28 are so close in price. There are a few sweet options the 28 has available (fridge for one) that can separate them, but they are basically the same size.
If someone wants to step up and burn some cash, the R30 is definitely a BIG step up.
The 35? fugetaboutit....
I'm not seeing the reason to carry two closely sized models.
Maybe someone can point out what I'm overlooking here..

Well I dont think its all that uncommon. Sea Ray does it on their sundancer models. They have models that are only seperated by a few feet.

5 feet is alot IMO on a boat especially a boat like that given its wider beam.

I believe the "A" stands for affluent. Look, this guy owns one and he looks down to earth:

LOL! reminds me of the old snobby stiff on caddyshack

Pretty much what I was going for.

I guess I better start working the corner so I might have a shot of the A25 being the next boat. Not quite affluent just yet. Gotta have goals!

[AsLan7]

"Gotta have goals"


For the corner or the cobalt, nautigirl?

Both! One has an impact on the other!

Good one!

You are a Nauti Girl!

All kidding aside I like the A25... look at me just putting myself out there! Hell I like the A40 too!

If I had the scratch I'd go R.

[Ytmsn]

Yeah thats me too Liquid... thinking about another boat, and I was fine until Aslan showed up!

Before I bought my current boat and restored it I had a chance to buy a 262 locally. It had an arch, CC and extnd swim deck, but I didnt think it was for me.

Aslan arrives with all those pictures, and now thats all I can think about! So at some point a 262 is in my future.

Ok Tuscany who do you know in Kansas? Cobalt just dropped everything other than the A28 and the A40 off their website.

[Soonerfan]

Wow, no doubt their whole website looks different!
