Let's keep it to the R6 Surf model only please.

Also, you guys are twisting my arm into adding a windlass! I'm usually only anchoring in 20' or so of water so not sure it will be worth it other than looking over at the other guys that I tie up with while they are tossing out their anchors as I push the button to lower it. ha!

Also guys let's start a r6 build thread. It's all good!

BTW, the feature I didn't list above was the rear-facing camera. It was about the same cost as the mirror and I thought it would be cool to have. Not sure how the traditional Cobalt folks feel about that though as it is DEFINITELY tech they took from Malibu. I like it, I'm ready for the tech!

BHD wrote: Mon Nov 23, 2020 8:49 am Thank you and thanks for the suggestions. I actually did add the wireless charger and I am considering the rear facing camera. I am going back and forth on the wakeboard racks- I have a lakefront house/dock.

Is the Captain’s Call a dealer add-on?
Thanks again.

You know what would be cool and not sure Cobalt offers it is board storage on top of the binimi. Or have a canvas shop add it. All of the tow boats have this. Yes I removed my board rack also because they hit my garage door just like my tower does.
But they also are not as nice as the factory ones. Still I've seen people forget about them and whack the dock poles going to get gas. Or there slip poles going to the lift? Just a thought.
These are only examples.

So I've got a few weeks to lock things in like colors and will do that as soon as the boat hits the "Build a boat" section of the web site which should also happen in a few weeks (leaning classic Cobalt navy and white though) but wanted to see if I'm missing something here with the features I've got priced out. Here's what I'm looking at:

VP 380 (can I get by with a 350??) I know bigger is always better but that would be an easy $7000 to shave off the top if I could.
Mooring Cover
Bow Filler Cushion
Platinum Sound (non-negotiable here...I'm going all in on the audio!)
Sof Trac mat Gunwales
Sof-Trac Floormat
Fixed Arch
Speaker Covers
Docking Lights
Battery charger (110v)
Wireless Phone Charger
Trim Tabs
Platform lighting
Wakeboard Triton Racks
Dinette Table
RGB Lights
Dual Garmin 10" screens

Have I missed anything major here for those that have surf models?
