Cobalt Boats Forum

Congrats! Great looking boat and what an upgrade from the 242 (which is also a pretty awesome boat). Get your favorite adult beverage and spend some time playing with the Garmin screens. You'll like being able to set up the gages to your preference. We are in the KC area as well, hope to see you out...

Here is a pic of our R7... I would imagine very close to the R5.

Hope it helps.

any thoughts on ceramic coat vs wax? ive never wrapped my head around what happens when ceramic wears out or fails. does it have to be removed and reapplied or just add more? is it more like wax or clear coat? I had a sales person try to sell me on the ceramic coat but it was pretty expensive, ther...

this is what you need... we have an R8 surf and did the same.

Can't help with the R4, we have an R8 surf and we love the wave. Our heaviest surfer so far was 290 and a novice, he had no trouble being able to ditch the rope. Hope that helps. Also, our boat came with the wrong prop. When we got the right prop it made a huge difference on gas mileage and noise as...

We have an R8 Surf which we really enjoy. If we hadn't of wanted to get into surfing we would have kept our 2016 A25. We had a lot of issues with that boat, which Cobalt took care of, but it's still a pain to deal with them. Our R8 hasn't had near as many issues. We've had a few gel coat cracks but ...

Looks great!

The R8 Surf throws a big wave. The R33 Surf seems like it will capsize some nearby boats! We have an R8 surf and we are super happy with it. The wave is awesome. But we average 10-11 GPH when surfing. The R33 with twins I'm guessing would be 20-25 GPH to surf behind... expensive day... but i guess ...

Haha

If someone else is paying the bill??? Absolutely

So just saw on instagram cobalt coming out with an R33 Surf. I don't know if this is news to anyone, but it was to me. It would be interesting to surf behind that beast!

Looks like a cool product... I've had no experience with it. If you purchase post a review.

I agree with Lifelongbtr, both systems are identical except for the switches vs. V2 being incorporated into the garmin. Also the removal of the center tank was only on the R7 surf models. The R5 and 3 kept the center tanks. Wave wise I don't believe there was any difference. We saw both models at th...

Yes the grand majority of the ones I've heard about have been on model year 2021 and newer.

Congratulations. We had an R7 and they are great boats! Love the classic white with the boot stripe!

There have been a lot of us with fiberglass spider cracks. I've had two that were repaired and under warranty on my 22 R8S. Mine were on the outside gunwale just above the rub rail on the port and starboard side. I haven't noticed any inside the actual boat. I look for them like a hawk now that I ha...
