New R5 owner

Post by baand320 »

Hello! New to the forum. I am a previous Cobalt owner. Had a 2005 246 but gave it up in 2011 while going through a divorce. It was my second boat after owning a 24ft Bayliner. I knew from the moment I set foot on that 246, that Cobalt was a very different kind of boat and I loved every moment on her. I have been waiting patiently over the last 9 years to get another Cobalt and now I finally got one. With 2 kids in college, I had been holding off, but finally made the leap and got a new 2020 R5. Thank you to everyone for the informative posts.

Hey b320. Welcome to the Cobaltchat forum. So glad you found us!

Thank you for pics too. Love those colors. That’s quite the jump from a Bayliner. How do you plan on using her and how is she powered?

Again welcome aboard mate!

Looking forward to hearing your captains report!

Great looking boat! I like the color scheme a lot. Care to share what she is powered with?

Welcome....great looking boat. Love the colors.
Looks like you've explored this site a little. If I had it to do all over again, I'd lie about my 300 hp. Lol.
I suggest you look up "R3 rumbleseat vs. my cellphone" thread on this site.
