Re: Possibly Damage from Trailer

Thanks for the help, Just to follow up it definitely appears to be the trailer causing the issue. I’m not sure why, I’ve tried deeper and more shallow but the chines rub on the front bunks. You can see where it makes contact and all the damage is on the leading edge causing the gel coat to chip off....

Possibly Damage from Trailer

I’m not sure how but I’m getting damage on the underside near the bow on a 2023 r6 surf. I am not hitting anything I’m aware of in the water or the dock. Looking at the picture the damage is on both sides (red) but no damage on the keel (green). Being the lowest point if it was hitting ground it wou...

Re: 2023 R6 OB - Discount Target?

On a custom order in October on an r6 surf I was able to get 20% off and no fees (prep, freight, etc) just boat and tax. I think they prob would have done better on the r8 surf they had on the lot for a while.

Re: Ordered R4 Surf

We have an R8S that we trailer back and forth to the lake. We are up there once or twice a week. Launching and retrieving for us isn't a big deal and only takes us about 2 minutes to prep the boat and launch it and maybe another 15 or so for retrieval (that includes putting on the transom straps, t...

Re: Ordered R4 Surf

Possible change of plans, my wife saw an R6 surf instock at the dealer and wants to go R6 instead. My only concern is our house has only boat ramp access or mooring at a bouy (we are on the waitlist). My concern is the R6 is going to be too big and cumbersome to launch and pull out of the water 2-3 ...

We usually anchor in about 25’ or so. It’s not easy to add after the fact…

Re: Ordered R4 Surf

Thanks! Went with 350. Lake we are at is 3500’ above sea level and wasn’t sure if 350 or 380 would be the right choice. We typically have 4 adults and 4 kids when we go out.

Can’t wait. They put in order now he is expecting delivery in February

Ordered R4 Surf

Just ordered an r4 surf today (first cobalt). Couple of questions, dealer was able to do 20% off msrp, that a typical discount for 2023 models? Also still not sure on 10” garmen screens or windlass. We use boat on a small lake (800 acres), so chart not important but we are usually on the water for 4...
