Thanks! I think the small red stripe ties it all together nicely.

I too think you'll have to look long and hard to find a better looking boat than a Cobalt.

Trust me. I fretted over it for several weeks before I decided to go with it. I tried to center it vertically between the bottom stripe and the arch yet follow the lines of the arch. So compared to the stock location, its slightly higher and forward. I'm kinda OCD about things being symmetrical so ...

The 6.0 liter is a clear winner over the 8.2 big block.

Thanks!

I recently traded my 2011 242 for this R7. I too debated between a R7 and a A28 but ultimately went with the R7. No regrets. It has all that I wanted with the Volvo 380 (beast of an engine!), stainless steel arch, windlass, upgraded stereo with transom remote, seagrass (far better that the carpet I ...
