Mirrors make a big difference, and the PTM one is NICE!
Also, mirrors are required here in KS if you're towing someone, and there is only 1 person on the boat. That happens from time to time with us, so we have one.

The table looks great! If you're looking to add some shade, I purchased an umbrella adaptor that fits perfectly into the ski pylon area.

Would you mind sharing the link or where you purchased that from? That looks easier to deploy than the system cobalt has with the aft shade and the poles.

Where would you have room to store an umbrella of that size?

I've used them, and that's just one of the problems. If the sun's not at the correct angle, they're pretty useless. They don't like wind, and they're unwieldly to put up and take down.

I store the umbrella in the storage area where I keep the skis. Plenty of room. I won't use it if it's too windy.

We have a mount, and an umbrella like pictured above that we use on our 242. I keep the umbrella in the starboard side bow seat, where I keep my tonneau covers while on the boat. PLENTY of room to get that umbrella in there, and it stays dry and clean too, since that storage location on our boat is carpeted.

Thanks to the discussion on the PTM mirror, I purchased one. Got the base model for just over $200.
I haven't received it yet, but I know y'all wouldn't lie to me.

Just ordered the PTM Watersports board racks and mounts. I used the cobaltchat20! discount code for 20% off.

I'll look for the R6 with the umbrella on lake Allatoona.

Damn! I just purchased a PTM mirror. Didn't know I could get 20% off. Probably won't be the last time I waste $40.

I installed the PTM racks in the standard Cobalt 4 bolt mounts on the tower. Very easy install.

I also added the Magna grill from my Regal 28.
