So.. I guess I have made a mistake. got bored and checked out some other boats, as I was planning for my next one. (yes, mine isn't even a year old yet) I fell in love with the 343, WOW .. 343 with 525's !! My actual next boat list is 343 then 303 with the 303 being MUCH more probable. But dang that 343 is so sweet. Thank goodness there isn't one anywhere around here to go sit in.
so what is your next one?

Love love love the 343!
I think my next one will be a 2017+ R7 or R30. All depends on what I can talk the wife into. I just know the must haves are all digital dash and windlass. And of course at least a 380hp. And if I go r30 then twin 380’s

Probably the R5 Surf... or the 25 LSV Bu. If I get the Bu I'll try and keep the 190 because I love it.

Love the 343 a *lot*, but too big for any moorings or slips at our place as it's too long for the Bylaws. So, if I were to ever move into something else, it would be a twin 8.1 Gxi (or Gi/Mag/HO) 282.
So, if you're ever selling, cmattj....

Since we are dreaming and it won't become reality. I want a 220 with twin 520's.

I'd just like someone to "Shoehorn' a real gas tank into my 26 SD. The 50 gal tank was a complete blunder on Cobalts behalf.
If it had a bigger tank we'd keep it forever. Other than that, it's a great platform.
Thankfully they have since increased the tank size in the later builds.

So, Willyswagon is upgrading? Sounds like the sharks will begin the frenzy for your current boat.

I do loce twins . So when Slide gets my 282 I’d probably look for another one. Lol. I like the 302 but then widths get tricky like the sexy 343.
Maybe a Cobalt 30sc with twin 400 verado egg beaters so I would venture into the SF bay. I’d be less worried about salt water cruising
Or just a R30 so I could still have twin bigs singing!

Verado egg beaters. I enjoyed that.

I have my dream boat in the garage.. Wendy and I can’t deal with anything larger without an entourage, or tow wider without a NY permit, so 27.5’ is it.
But if I ever hit the 6 numbers (which I never play) and buy a nice 12,000 sq ft home
in Port Royal on Naples bay, I can see this on the lift.

+999999 on the 343 with 525 twins. I'm hoping Dean will sell me his!
Or just a R30 so I could still have twin bigs singing!
