Re: FINALLY I got up on the wave!
Great job......but your not surfing until you let go of the rope. Your being towed. Throw that thing in the back of the boat and give it a go. FYI the cobalt looks like it makes a nice wave. We surf on a Malibu axis t22 Sure. quick reminder that it's my first day up. :) The wave is OK here, LOTS of...

Re: Advice Needed: 2020 R5 surf or 2022 R6 surf
I have the R6 Surf and my buddy has an R5 Surf. The R5 throws a decent wave but it kind of is what it is with the big surf tabs. Not REALLY a lot of push and the pocket is tiny. My R6 in comparison has a pretty massive wave and when you run the speed up to like 12.2mph, it's probably 25' long of sur...

FINALLY I got up on the wave!
Ok, so I recently lost about 55 pounds and finally felt comfortable enough to try this whole surfing thing. Today, I popped up after about 4 times trying (more times trying with no success a few days ago) and it seemed to just "click". Anyway, this was my last run of the day which turned o...

Re: R8 must haves
I'd add a windlass to that. no sense in paying that much for a boat where you have to throw your own anchor by hand like a peasant. :) You mean I've been upgraded to peasant? LOL We never really anchor anyway. Just go out to the deep water and let the wind blow us while listening to a great sound s...

Re: 2022 Cobalt R8 Surf / Software & Garmin Update
Yeah, I updated mine as well using the Active Captain app and it changed the look of the gauges. It didn't change any of the layouts though, just the colors and fonts of the gauges themselves. You SHOULD be able to just click and hold with your finger on the gauges and then you can replace them with...

Re: 2023 Cobalt R8 Surf Boat Lift
I have my R6 surf sitting in a 35' slip and on an 8800 pound Hydrohoist lift. The lift is big enough for the R8S as well and it does a really great job getting the boat out of the water. I figure I'm probably 7100 pounds with a full tank of gas and gear on the boat so I had to jump up a size in the ...

Re: rough ride
Did you get trim tabs? If you trim all the way down it will likely make a huge difference, especially if you have a stern heavy load or no passengers in the bow. ^^^^ This...We get some massive waves when coming into the marinas on our lake with all of the traffic from houseboats, cruisers, cigaret...

Cool cooler replacement
Hi all, as part of the Yeti recall, I opted to get the Yeti Flip 18 as an exchange for my soft cooler. The cooler fits PERFECTLY into the cooler area on my R6S for those looking at options here. I forgot to take pics but will get some next time I'm down at the marina, but overall it works well as an...

Re: Speaker recommendations: replace 6.5 in OEM / 2006 262
I'll second the Roswell setup. I have heard everything on the water and while the things like WetSounds and such are more popular, you absolutely can't beat the sound of the Roswells in terms of sound quality. it sounds like a full on concert hall in terms of frequencies that you hear coming out at ...

Re: R6 Surf vs Sterndrive - Engine Choices
I should really jump in here more often and check for replies. lol Yeah, that's WAY off on the time to plane. It's usually in about 4 seconds. I'd say it's closer to 6 with like 12 people AND full ballasts though but that's so rare of a situation for me and it's pushing over 10,000 pounds through th...

Replacement seat and timing...
Anyone had issues getting a replacement seat? Basically, my port bow seat back (near where the armrest is) on my R6 Surf needs replacing. Dealer put the order in back in October and I heard from them today that it's going to be an additional 3 weeks minimum until we get it in. Is this typical when o...
