Intro from the PNW - 2019 Cobalt R5
Posted: Thu May 20, 2021 7:14 pm
Hey everyone,
Just wanted to give a quick introduction. My wife and I have recently picked up a “used” 2019 Cobalt R5. With the demand for boats lately (especially in Washington) We feel lucky to have found this! Picked the boat up about a month ago and it only had 20 hours on it. Ive lived in Washington my entire life and grew up boating as my parents always had one. We would take trips to the San Juan islands and Canada every summer. We just sold our Sea Ray 185 sport and now have the R5. Obviously this is a massive upgrade and we are obsessed with this boat. Such a great size to fit many people, handles the chop extremely well and the quality and luxury on this boat is worlds better than the sea ray.
The boat has the VP 350, dual garmin, windlass, RGB interior, porcelain head with sink (actually really nice to have), black painted hull, etc. Just added an amp and rear transom speakers as well since it only had the base system.
I have been reading through this forum over the past couple months and have already learned so much. Here are some pictures! Also, managed to grab the "pnwboating" Instagram handle if you want to see more pics.
