Ok. I agree they look cool but the premium bimini looked easier to use. Watched demonstrations of both on the you tubes.
I still have time to make changes!

Do you plan on doing any wake-boarding with this R5?
Re: R5 in rough water

No. Probably some sking and tubing! Any reason other than that? Will it make it 5mph faster? Becasue its almost as much as upgrading to the 430

Ok the binimi provides a larger cover area on the tower then without it. Yes aero is much better with a tower. You will gain a few mph
The tower will fit in your garage no matter what. Believe me on that.
The tower will provide a gym like feel as your hanging from it. Mine is in the perfect position to grab it as your going down the walk through steps. When you add your jl tower speakers your sound system will be enhanced that much more. This will add to the coving enjoyment. Man this tower is priceless.
Tower vs 430 well I can't make that argument. But you can add both and you will get that back in return when you sell it to me in I guess 8 years now
Did you add transom speakers and remote and a drive transom remote. Now add the led interior lights that are included on the tower. Also underwater lights. It's ok if you don't night boat its still cool to have to show your friends.
Did you get sea grass or soft Trac in the cockpit?

LOL... Why do i get the feeling your trying to build your own boat! Haha! I did get the interior light pkg and i will prob add the tower as over term its worth it. I got soft track on the platform but just carpet on the interior. I did get the premium stereo system! And honestly about 10yrs it will go up for sale.Big Block Power wrote: Wed Mar 25, 2020 6:21 pm Ok the binimi provides a larger cover area on the tower then without it.

I think I would get the removable soft trac in the cockpit. It feels so nice. Now will it last as long as sea grass. I'm I don't think so.
Really you built a great boat. Honestly the tower is a must. All joking aside.

Your cobalt 220 with the 8.1 gxi must run in the 60s? CC EXHAUST? With the cams on the 8.1gxi sound so good.
Re: R5 in rough water

It does not have the CC. I was going to add it this year with a kit I had but it was going to be too much work. So I sold it. I will get it one of these years. It's not looking right now it will be this year. Corsa cut me a really good deal though. I'll install it myself when time comes. Matt will fly out and bond with me and Mr. Nauti will watch and drink spotted cows.Dturn wrote: Wed Mar 25, 2020 7:28 pm Your cobalt 220 with the 8.1 gxi must run in the 60s? CC EXHAUST?

Yes it signs very nice. I never really ran it hard this year long enough with the new props and program in it. So before it ran 60. I think it will do 63 in the right conditions. At least I hope it will. It was a 57mph boat all the time no problem. The 220 hull just hits a wall at 57.
