We own a Chaparral Sunesta 233.
It's been a unbelievably trouble free boat.

Re: Sports arch
Has anyone listened to the speaker quality of the Rockford Fosgate tower speaker option?
Thanks.

Re: Sports arch
My question also is a 6.5 soaker good enough on a tower. My wife hates loud music so it's never that loud on the boat. Just wondering can you hear it good enough while swimming. I saw some Roswell and JL 6.5 that are priced good.
I have not personally listened to Rockford but I had there amp.It was ok I had kicker speakers and a bit too much low end for me. I'm a crisp clean treble guy.

Re: Sports arch
Here is the SS/White non-folding arch on our R7. We have not had any viewing issues with the wide base at all. Never even gave it a thought really until I read your post.

Re: Sports arch
People come up with some unique color combinations. I like he pale yellow on top more than I thought I might.

Re: Sports arch
That is a sharp boat. The blue boot stripe and the blue bimini work well together.
Re: Sports arch
Old boat sold, and ironically I won't be ordering the arch on my new Cobalt. I love the look, but I came to terms that I need it to fold over style. So, ez fold Bimini it is. The folding aluminum arch looks like crap IMO, and doesn't do the boat justice.
I have a lot of time before my order slot can be altered, and it's costing me a lot of money.
I've moved from an R5 to an R7. Loaded up pretty good. Still considering electric toilet over portipotty, and maybe a cockpit sink.
I started at 130k, and now up to 152k. Someone stop me.

Obviously the price I posted are MSRP numbers, but geeezus...the final number is still huge.
The problem is simple. I'll be keeping this boat for a number of years, and we might as well order it with no regrets.
I can't believe how long and expensive the "no regrets" list can be....and I haven't gotten to the trailer yet.

Re: Sports arch
That's awesome. By my calculations you could buy approximately 8 of my boats for that number.
You could get a different color combo for each day of the week and use the leftover boat as a porta potty.
I am a big proponent of knowing what you want and going and getting it. Congratulations, when you are in it on the water the first time it'll be worth it.

Re: Sports arch
Quite honestly, I never saw myself buying a new boat..EVER, and I still can't believe I'm going through with it.
My wife was tossing the question around a couple of years ago, and I told her she was nuts, and that I would never sell our boat because we just don't use it enough. We own our own business with a lot of employees and we are busy all summer. I thought spending 50k was insane for the time we were able to use it, and here I am spending twice that. I am fortunate that I'm not having to take out a loan. Loans and toys are against my fiber.
Problem was that I stopped by my dealers showroom asking him if they have a line on a used 27-28' Chap, Sea Ray or something comparable.
And of course, he shows me the new R5 they had in stock, and that he would toss me a price I would like.
And of course now all other boats which I thought were of top quality now look like cheap Walmart specials when compared to a Cobalt.
And of course, I brought my wife up to see it the next week.
And of course she loves it, and she is more conservative than me.
And of course, I bite, and want to order something with the power and options "I" want.
And of course, I'm thinking the original idea was to step up the length to 27'-28' because Lake Erie can get rough.
And of course, my boat quickly sold.
So here I am, and we better use the crap out of it in the coming years.
