But there is an extra cupholder in the captains area! Seriously though agree. Was scared buying our R5 Last summer cause of imminent R6, but glad we did.Rickybobby12 wrote: Sat Jul 04, 2020 7:56 pm The helm is awful! I can't believe Cobalt didn't put more thought into it? It looks like something you would find in the trunk of a Camaro in high school - a speaker box with two subs. In this case, it's a speaker box with two Garmin screens. Overall, to me, it looks like a boat that has simply been tweaked. Similar bow layout and similar cockpit layout with nothing that separates the brand or moves the segment forward. Based on these photos, it looks like Cobalt has taken a step back, while the competition has taken two steps forward. I hope seeing it and walking through it changes my opinion.

Complaining about a 2 tone platform that has been on the CS22 and CS23 since like 2018 or so is complaining just to complain lol. With the right colors it will look fine.

I agree. I think the surf boat pictured looks fine with the swim platform in white.Dropped Anchor wrote: Tue Jul 07, 2020 1:43 am Complaining about a 2 tone platform that has been on the CS22 and CS23 since like 2018 or so is complaining just to complain lol.

Re: R6 Reveal Live on July 10th

Yeah I had been reading about the tabs and how to use them to level the boat etc.Table Rockin wrote: Tue Jul 07, 2020 10:24 am So as with the previous surf tabs i guess no trim tabs for surf models.

Re: R6 Reveal Live on July 10th
You would never use the surf tabs the way you use standard trim tabs anyways. They are for creating wake and that’s it. I believe they even say to leave them all the way up when cruising.Table Rockin wrote: Tue Jul 07, 2020 10:24 am So as with the previous surf tabs i guess no trim tabs for surf models.

Re: R6 Reveal Live on July 10th
Thats correct....was just wondering with the new surf gate if you had option to add so you could have best of both worlds. Doesnt look like it though.tgrace98 wrote: Wed Jul 08, 2020 8:51 amYou would never use the surf tabs the way you use standard trim tabs anyways. They are for creating wake and that’s it.

I believe now the surf tabs auto retract at a certain speed anyways. Surf gate is a game changer guys!

Re: R6 Reveal Live on July 10th
I think at 15 mph, they control themselves and fully retract. I use trim tabs constantly on crazy Lake Erie and the rapids at the mouth of the river. It makes the ride so much more comfortable and controllable. To not have tabs would be a deal killer for me.Big Block Power wrote: Wed Jul 08, 2020 7:27 pm I believe now the surf tabs auto retract at a certain speed anyways. Surf gate is a game changer guys!
To be able to have trim tabs AND a surf gate would be great.
BTW....A7 and Liquid...
We need to get together for an afternoon on my boat so I can introduce you to, and make you comfortable with some of the best boating in the North East.
Pick a day boys....

You can’t build one yet. After this it bumps you to the R7 builder.
I missed the reveal, link?
