New R5 Today

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.

Thanks. Yes, they weigh about 5 pounds a piece. They are like 16" cornhole bags. At 50mph they don't even rustle. As for mooring cover, I HATE snaps. Just one of the reasons I sold my pontoon.

Beautiful colors! And I’m jealous of those great looking pillows.

That's a nice looking new boat.

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.

The Bayside Blue color is sharper in person than it looks on the Cobalt configurator - maybe a little bit darker and more refined? I like it quite a bit. Thanks for posting,

John

As it is a brand new color, I had not seen it in person, but my dealer got a photo of an R6 hull still on the production line. Once I saw that, I immediately changed my colors. But I did not appreciate how well I had done, until I walked on the lot and saw it in person. Very happy with my choice.

Colors are awesome, congrats.

Great looking boat! I am ordering my R6 Surf now, and struggling with color choices. The online configurator is pretty terrible at illustrating the various interior and exterior colors. The Bayside Blue in your boat looks great! Would never have guessed that from the configurator. Congrats.

I wouldn't have either. Was actually avoiding it until I saw a real photo. Thanks.

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