I currently have a 2001 190 5.0 Volvo Penta that I’ve had since 2006. Before that I had a Chaparral 198 for a few years. Finally I ordered a R5 Surf that is probably being built now. My teenage daughter went wake surfing with friends last summer and has trying to convince me that I needed a Surf boat.
Having Cobalt quality all those years I didn’t even look at any other brands. I hope the new one will be as trouble free as the last one. I’m getting excited to see if even though it will be a few months before it’s warm enough to use it. Until then I guess I continue rock climbing in the Jeep.

If I was Jeeper I would start holding deposits for whomever on this board wants to buy it in 10 years

I tried out the surf mode and it seemed to work just fine. One thing I have a issue with is top speed is 42 mph at 5800 rpm’s, I am thinking it has the wrong props. I also think the gauges are off. The lake waters temperature said it was 62 degrees and it was closer to 50. The fuel gauge showed I had 80% left and I filled it with 20 gallons and it’s supposed to be a 50 gallon tank.
I’m going to call the dealer in the morning with my concerns and see what they have to say.
