If you're in the Great Lakes region this week and looking for something to do...
You too can have a R36 for as low as $541k!

I've requested some overtime at work. That, and sell my house would get me a R33.

I'm headed to the Minneapolis show tonight, although I haven't heard what models will be there. They're usually pretty good about having a wide selection, including a few in the 30'+ range.

Cobalts look more like wakeboarding boats every year (or maybe I’m getting old). The fiberglass work on the models at the show was no longer the best there - the fit and finish on Pursuits was noticeably better, and the latches, etc. seemed to be aligned better and be more solid.
This picture of the cabin door from the inside of an R33’s cabin sums up the direction changes are going better than I can:

Wow
At first I thought those were toggle switches like in an old 60’s Jag …..then I realized what they were.
(…and watch your head) ..no pun intended

You know, the Atlanta boat show was last weekend and we didn't even go. I looked at the exhibitors and it was really lacking---- didn't seem worth driving 50 miles and paying almost $50 to get in for something I couldn't afford anyway. LOL (Besides, I don't like the dealer here).

Last one in Memphis that I attended was only $10 in 2019. A Cobalt CS22 was there at $66k. That's what first got my wife thinking of upgrading to Cobalt. The people from Futrell were great.
