We are going w the walk thru cuddy two seats (for the kids).my wife chose wine berry as or primary color silver metallic as a seconday and a charcoal pin. We are doing the white interior w silver carbon fiber accents. The hardware is going to b black chrome. We went w the 8.2 mag which I think will be plenty for my first "real" boat. Going from 190hp to 380hp so I'm satisfied. Of course wanted the ho but decided to use that money in other places like stereo and billet controls. Im really excited I live right around the corner from the shop so expect lots of pictures and updates lol. Hernando and Jeff have been great to my family and a lot of other cobra owners as well have really been a big help to me which i think is just another awesome thing about cobra. Thanks throttle and coolcrzin for all the help we are moving right along now!

I went down Friday but didn't have a chance to see this one. Got side tracked by a certain 270 Python and a 260 Razor. The wife and I will be back down in a couple weeks so I'll make a point to get out to the back shop. Looks great on here so far just from the pics.

The 230 should find it's way into the rigging room quickly, you won't have to go to the back shops to get a glimpse of it :)

I bet the 230's production will be pretty close to completion in a couple weeks by the time you get there.

Ok so we went by today to go over a few things... We are going w silver carbon fiber accents w charcoal contrast stitching and an upgraded interior graphic. Jeff and Hernando surprised us the some stuff for the seats which should look really cool we are really excited about it. Since we upgraded to the offshore throttle controls we decided to upgrade gauges to platinum and we upgraded steering wheels. I can't pronounce what steering wheel it is but it's from Italy and looks awesome! [emoji41]hernando told us what he's doing for our stereo i believe it's 4 sets of 6x9s and two 10in subs. One mono amp for bass and 4 channel for highs. We went ahead and added a battery charger and we will b using 3 group 27's. I think the only the only thing we are still considering is the mood lights...oh and possibly a ladder on the trailer
 

Finally made it

Great looking boat. Notice how time slows down when you are waiting for it to be built. Hang in there.

Went by the shop today. Summer must be in full effect because it was booming down there lots of action. Couple of the boats I've got so used to seeing are being sold and the showroom looked different. I went down to give the go ahead to add the ladder to our trailer. I've never seen it on a 230 but I figure it will help when launching and getting in and out to clean. They are starting the interior and really looking forward to this part.

Almost 2 weeks since the last picture.... You're slackin! Lol

Lol I was down there yesterday. I think they got hammered before the holiday weekend and everybody was working on the python to get it out. It looked like they did a little more framing for interior. Hernando called in the evening to talk about mood lights and kind of hinted it might not be done for aug 1 havasu trip. On the plus side though the engine was delivered yesterday I'm going tomorrow to check it out and snap some pictures
