[scottsyott]

So after hanging out here in search of a Cobalt education, ordering, and then waiting on delivery of my new '21 R5, today it finally came to fruition. The Delivery Caption brought it to my dock on Smith Lake, AL this morning. You guys loce some pix, so here here is "Scottsyott 3" :

Thanks, Those pillows were a gift from my sister. Filled with buckwheat hulls, so they weigh about 5#-6# each. She made custom towels for the original "Scottsyott" and flags for "Scottsyott 2". She is pretty handy.

Actually, her. As in "Scott's Yacht", but it was the Admiral that chose her name.

Great looking boat! I have a similar one on order since the first of September. Did you order yours? How long did it take?

Thanks. I ordered mine on or about the middle of August, but wound up with a build date of late Sept. From then it was 6 weeks to my dock. I understand that the whole of the 2021 production has been spoken for, but since you were in a couple months ago, my guess is that you are within 2-4 weeks out. Good luck. It is pins and needles from here.

Very nice. Great lookin’ boat. You missed one critical pic .... engine. I hope your family enjoys your R5 as much as we’ve enjoyed ours.

Well, the engine is a modest VP300, but given my first few hours with it, I don't need anything else.

Still a great engine and we love all engine pics here.

Congrats, beautiful color!

Congrats, beautiful color!

Thanks. It is Bayside Blue which is new for '21 and the stripe is Frost Gray. I had decided on Navy/Slate and after I ordered it, but before it went into production, I saw two just like it on my part of the lake. Not wanting to blend in, I took a chance and changed before production started, even though I had never seen the color in real life.

Looks great! The pillows make a great addition.
Do they stay in place at speed?
Good choice on the mooring cover instead of tonneau covers.
