I like the exterior.
Nothing remarkable about the interior. Don't like the helm or Captain's Chair.
No protection from rain for radio and no swivel on Capt chair.
Only fore and aft entry.....no side entry. Don't like that.

Not excited about the exterior. The interior looks OK but only having forward and rear entry will not work for most of us.

No table! Maybe they should have run their design on this forum before they built the toon.

Too, boaty. Not what an already pontoon owner would look for without some changes as others have stated already. But if they are trying to capture the boat crowd, it might make them look but, the pontoons have evolved because of the owners and what they want. They best be looking as some design changes.

That fiberglass upper don't look right with the aluminum toons. Looks like the just stuck some toons under a deck boat. I like cobalt boats for their quality but I can say I do not like these. Especially for 120k! My $3500 old harris is just fine with me!

Don't expect these to be on the market very long. It'll be like Bennington's Azure deck boats. Too expensive that sales volumes won't ever get up to where they're profitable on the boat.

Enough red ink on a project will make'em reconsider getting into a market segment that's already got too many players.

Hows that go "a fool and his money are soon parted"

I simply don't see 120K in those pictures.... The interier is really sort of dated and bland in my book; it really looks like they tried too hard and came back with boring...

Those seats don't look very comfortable at all. None of them are lounge type. They look more like blown-up air mattresses. I think they missed the mark on this model.
