WOW.... Couldn't have been more impressed with Everyone from Cobalt Boats. Our host Derek Labarr was fantastic he took us through all the manufacturing stations at the plant and all the associates were very friendly. And then at the final assembly station was our new boat! Wow, we could not be more thrilled!!! And can not wait for the ice to come off the lake. I have been to a lot of manufacturing plants all over the Midwest and I have to say, I have not seen a more focused group of people building boats to last a lifetime. You really feel there "Only a Cobalt" is so much more than a tag line. Also for me it was great to see the USA flag along with Cobalt Boats flag high in the rafters.

Thanks to Everyone at Cobalt Boats.

AWESOME tr5!....thank you for providing pics too. Yes, once you have been thru the factory then you understand the level of detail and commitment these employees have to their craft as they pour their workmanship into each and every boat (and possibly a personalized signature.

)

aigh! yer killin me! We wanted to do that so much, but just couldn't adjust the schedule around it. Looks good though, and nothing but good comments about the plant are such a bonus. Oh well.... maybe some day.

Awesome experience. We went a few years ago and were absolutely blown away.

Very cool. I posted the other day but it didn't take for some reason.
I can't wait to see it in person on big green! I take it you have a place on the lake? Can't wait to hear the 8.2!
Great combo. I sent this picture to tgrace98 from when we did the tour. Then he sent me a picture of his new boat!
Congrats!

Thanks BBP, Yes we are on the south shore. Can't wait for the lake to thaw! Hope to see you this summer!

Very cool. We got married on the lake. We did it on the Heidel House yacht. Great time. We will see you soon and with all this rain and 40 mph winds coming might help that ice go away. When is delivery.

Hahaa! I almost forgot about (someone) signing some of those boats at the factory!

Another Winnebago peep? We need to get a Midwest CC meetup going, our numbers are growing! Love seeing the Black outdrive hanging off new Cobalts too! #MercLover!

Green lake is a great spot for a meet up. Much cleaner water then winnebago. Not sure the Geneva fans will come up?

I like the idea of Green Lake also.... on the account I didn't order a trailer!
