Congrat! Can't wait to read your captain's report. Now you need to update your signature :D

Thanks everyone!

We were able to self quarantine today on the bay in Destin/FWB and it was great! Unfortunately had to return the boat back to dealer for the next few weeks for the installation of options we added plus we have to install larger lift on our dock.... but today was a good “get to know you” day.

My first cobalt and the ride is incredible, even with some wind and rough chop today. The twin 300s are smooth, quiet, and powerful....we cruised at mid 40s effortlessly and could carry on a conversation.....we love the boat and proud to be part of the cobalt family....more pics and information to come.

Wow we didn’t have to twist your arm to hard! Congrats on the new Cobalt. She is a beaut and yes please stick around and give us many captain’s reports. I believe you are our first twin outboard member.

None at all, the outboards have worked perfectly in the shallow water. I’ve had so many friends comment on how smooth and quiet the boat is, wouldn’t change a thing one year later!
