I’ve got an R6 surf it’s black and sandstone listed on bait trader in Chattanooga

I own a construction company so we haul heavy. I recently put an f350 v10 in the fleet and I do like it so far. I’m thinking that the 7.3 won’t go strait to the redline when towing because of the bigger displacement and the torque that comes with that. We will see…. Sadly, I have made the def mistak...

How is the 7.3 gas? Does it shift and turn high rpm’s when towing.
What are the mpg numbers towing and regular driving
Thanks!

Appreciate the responses. I have an F150 Raptor that handles the R5 well if I don't exceed 65 mph. Been looking to upgrade the truck to an F350 with the 7.3 V8 gas motor. We had the R5 on six different lakes in 2021 and love road tripping with the boat. The F350 will help, but if you want to go fas...

Dealer just told me that we can’t water test until I get my trailer because the water is too low. Yuck! We are headed up to Loadmaster at the end of this month.

I signed the contract on 8-30-21. They where slow to produce because of steel shortages, the holidays, and they had to wait on the 6k axles as well. Worked out for me because the boat was delayed until this month anyway:) we are driving up to get it the last week of February. Only thing I’m worried ...

Just got word that our trailer is done! Headed to Ohio soon to pick this one up!

She chose the gray... I’ve got to admit is does look way better in person. I’ll be send more pictures of some of the things I thought were done very well when they designed this boat and the accessories.

We went by and were able to get in the boat. I’ve got to say that I’m really impressed with how it’s all put together. I didn’t see any issues with anything so far. I was worried about the tower racking from side to side and messing with the glass, but it feels super solid. Fiberglass seems to be in...

I forgot to mention that we will be making a choice on flooring as well today. I wanted faux teak to match the vinyl so cobalt was going to send it without any flooring and pay the dealer to put in seadek locally, but mistakenly sent it with the gray. My wife wants to look at what they sent before w...

Well, our R6S is finally here! We traded our R5 surf in June of last year. We ordered an R6S that was slated for an October build date. Supply chain delays pushed it out. Here are some pictures I took yesterday before it was unwrapped. I’ll post more later and updates on build quality as well.

I’m havIng a ceramic coating put on our R6 surf when we receive it. I was quoted 1100 dollars by the detailer. We use him often and trust his work. Very nice boat by the way!!!

We ordered ours at the end of July and it was into a build slot for for October. It changed to the first of December and now it’s moved to February. I believe it may be delayed due to the fact that it’s a highly optioned R6 surf which increases the probability of not having all the pieces of the puz...

Well since it’s a surf boat...

I should have said our R5 surf. The R6S is coming in December Lord willing and the creek don’t rise.
