I like it much better. Coordinates with the gray / silver on the gauges. Nice job. Very modern.

Installed and charging
While digging around on VP's sight last night I realized that I have VP Corrosion Protection installed. You can see it in the pics on the transom right behind the Port Exhaust. Learn something new every day. Maybe it is a standard part of the Cobalt build?

Ain't that the truth.
Learned I had a mercathode system.
Also took a pic of engine spec verifying it's a 496 HO.
I still remember T's story of getting the bigger engine and not even realizing it. Hate for it to be the other way around.
Serial numbers verify it to but how often do you get to take a pic of the backside of your engine.

Tuscany you might not like this. But I really like the rear stripe on the new boats. Do you think this would look good on mine. Then what color would you do?
Maybe the sides are not high enough?
In the end your taste is what should rule.
If you are asking my opinion, it would be this.
YT could add to this...
Personally, I like things totally stock. I think it adds to the timeless statement the designers had in mind. There was a gentleman on here a few months back that changed the lettering on his R7. It looked great.
Colors complimented the boat, and the font worked very well. Well designed.
Would I do it? Absolutely not in a million years.
IMHO, when I watch an auction like YT works, I love to look at the 57' chevys or the old Studebakers that are tricked out, but my heart stops and I drool over the unsullied, non-molested factory clean, totally stock stuff. So much harder to present perfect stuff, and it has to be stock to be perfect.
That's just me.
Your boat is beautiful as it sits. Timeless, clean, a head turner, and full of Cobalt class.
I'm on the same page.

So do i, but I've always liked the leather more than the wood.
Welp that'll be taken out of context.

Upgrades?
Going in Tuesday to the dealer to have the track rails installed on top of the gunwales for the folding Bimini.
Why am I nervous?
Usually because I don't trust others to care enough to do it perfectly..
Hoping I'm dead wrong.
