Well after months of waiting my wife and I were able to take a factory tour today and see our new r5. We are coming from a Malibu lsv23. Super excited for our new boat even though the season is almost over. That tour was unbelievable.

That sounds fun. We opted for the 380 and the fixed arch.
We boat on a rough body of water in Oklahoma called grand lake

Welcome. By the way that arch looks just like the one that came in a 360
So if you don't get that inside joke you have some reading to do. Talk to you in a week. Lol

Hey LD3. Welcome to the Cobalt chat forum. So glad you found us!
Great intro with pics no less.
Thank you. You’re going to make some amazing memories on her. It will be interesting to hear about your likes and dislikes over your Malibu.
Way to visit the factory and see your build. A group of us went last year and really enjoyed it.
Again welcome aboard mate!

Welcome! I think they forgot to put on part of your boat, unless you got it half off?

Congrats! We are absolutely loving our R5. Which options did you order? Ours in signature. Happy with everything we ordered, and didnt, except wish I had ordered the Rudder Position Indicator. Instead adding myself now for more $ and hassle. Strongly recommend the ACR battery option as it makes battery operation a no brainer and protects from draining your starting battery. Otherwise many options are personal choice.

You know whats kind of interesting at this stage is you can see how thick the swim platform is and the gel coat. But look at the techs order sheet. It's not even a computer printout.
