Hopefully pictures soon.
The trailer is being built this week, and the boat should be here within a month..
I'm pumped!

Hey Tuscany! I'm looking forward to seeing your R7 - will be stunning (and well optioned). I see you are a lake person - what boat are you coming from? It seems that once someone gets a Cobalt they stay with the brand.
I spec'd a R30 the way I would want it... close to $300K. Ouch! Makes my little 232 seem like the bargain of the century. :).

My first and only boat was a 2002 Chaparral 233 Sunesta.
I wasn't interested in taking the next step due of the demands of my business, so we enjoyed that boat up until last fall.
Now, I have the time, and I made three unexpected moves that led to the new boat.
One was asking my Chaparral/Cobalt dealer if he had a line on something larger.
Second was taking my wife to see an R5.
Third was stepping in an R7.

When we visited the Toronto boat show this year, it took all of 5 minutes. My wife and son wouldn't consider another brand. The Cobalt was breathtaking. I was considering a 27' Formula, but even that boat didn't impress when compared to the Cobalt.
