Re: OEM Table Alternative - Cutting Board??

Nice alternative to the $1,800 solid teak oem table and the free bottle of teak oil. [Good tip on the food grade mineral oil!] Does not even come with a mount to store it.

Re: Stability

Its a twin OB and we have trim tabs. All makes sense, thanks for the opinions and responses. Poor design having 3 batteries on one side. Probably cheaper that way. Looking at moving one of the batteries to SB side. Or just storing a 50lb bag of sand there ;-)

Stability

2023 R8 OB. Why does our R8 rock back and forth so easily at anchor when people move about? Or tilt so much when underway if not almost perfectly load balanced? Why does the boat list to the left at dock? See pic. Three batteries at aft port side? Just curious.

Re: Dealer Incentives

Dealer told me the 8% surcharge was taken off by Cobalt, didn't say why, they just did?? I'm at roughly 20% off MSRP (after freight and prep) for a 2023 R8. Is that a good deal for us given market dynamics?

Re: Discount off MSRP

Pricing is trickling up, the dealer shares the build sheet options, last increase was July 15. Dealer also said Cobalt removed the 8% materials surcharge?? No reason given as to why?? I'm working on a '23 R8 and have a discount so far of 19%, DC area. I think I'm reaching the bottom, but not certain...

Re: New R8 Outboard On Order

Beautiful. Looking at the twin 200 mercs. Vs 300 or 350 single. How do you think performance
will be? Not looking for so much top end speed
Rather getting underway well with a reasonable load. Thanks.

Re: R8 Helm Seat Legroom

Congrats on the R8. Do you love it? Interested in any more on the leg room issue. I’m 6’2” usually up on the helm bolster but would like the option to sit. We’re negotiating on a R8 now. Share are the pros and cons must have/ don’t need options? Looking at the 2x200 Merc OB. Since these are the entr...
