Couple more dealer pics. Still getting dialed in. Only been out once and didn't take many pics. Damn it. Was focused on other things.

How do you like the folding arch setup? Easy?
I certainly do. It is very beefy; as it should be for the price. Nice details on the tower too. Quality and super easy to operate. Has gas struts so not sure the power option is needed. I can operate with one hand. Will take more pics of the tower and post. Also got the aft and fore sunshades. Could not find any good pics of those before purchasing. Will do the same on those.

Only out one day and was about 85 and sunny. Was surprised how cool the vinyl was that was in the sun but honestly would like a hotter day with longer exposure to confirm. Figured it was a gimmick and verdict is still out. Seems to be cooler than you would expect so think it works. Will report back.

Nice looking boat and trailer! Especially the trailer! :D If I can make one suggestion I would adjust the bow stop so it isn’t directly on the front of the chine. I had a previous trailer that hit directly on a chine like that and it wore through the gel coat on a long drive. Just adjust the angle of the bow stop so it’s either above or below, it’s simple to do with a Loadmaster trailer! Ask me how I know..

Snow. Again thank you much for the recommendation on the trailer. Rides so so smooth. Great way to go and my dealer was very impressed with the quality. Going to adjust stop immediately.. Owe you now 2x.

I sent you a long rambling PM. Hope it helps! Glad you like the trailer! They are by far the best and strongest trailer out there!

Hello again. Have some more pics of the R6 outboard. Trailer has been adjusted and getting used to launching and retrieving the boat. Life is good.

How do you like the dark interior? Does it get hot?

The interior is great. Makes the boat look high(er) end. I mainly like the look over the grays and white options. It does get compliments and happy we chose it. Looks good with the black exterior we spec'd.

It does get hot! How hot? Not sure because I dont have a lighter color there to compare. Feel it is cooler than expected (sitting in the sun) so something is working tech wise. However, Id say almost too hot to sit on a fresh cushion that has been in the hot hot sun. You dont need water to cool but would take a min to cool it off by sitting there making shade.

To be honest the sea grass flooring is more the issue of being too hot. The seats in the sun are bearable but the sea grass in the sun is too hot for raw feet.

Dont think id switch it to the mats for just that reason but worth mentioning.

Agreed after being on a r7 for a week in trl sea grass gets crazy hot. I would remove it. But if you spray it down it cold right off. Now the white seats where no issues seating right on them. So to me that would say they are cooler than the darker color seats then.

We have white interior and soft mat flooring. Never had a problem with heat on either. Except the metal snaps on the flooring.

I have white seats and they are never hot. When our girls were little they liked to make sand castles with sand toys & buckets on the beach. I still have one of their sand buckets in the boat and when the flooring gets hot I scoop up a bucket of water & splash it all over the floor then it’s cool until it dries out.

Congratulations! she is a beauty!! Since people are asking for pictures, here is the one my wife and I put a deposit on. It was in stock so we had actually dream built a somewhat different version but the 2022 models are going up 20% in price above what is listed on the factory website so we are going to take this one and save some money.
