She thinks it has too much power, she doesn't like the door size leading to the bow, she HATES the swim ladder, no windshield, and it's too loud. All of these are total women issues, and I have 3 girls on top of that, so I live in a sea of estrogen! She does not complain about the ride though! She want's a true bow rider, so I'm looking at a 26-29ft Cobalt. I'll be perfectly happy if I don't sell for a while!

to funny....... although i dont have a bow rider but my wife has exactly the same likes and dislikes
loves the ride...... just about hates everything else........ noise/ power
i am fortunate that she doesnt mind my going out and spending days with my mates alone

Swim ladder? Replace with different model.
Too loud? Captain's Call Exhaust cutout
No windshield? Flip up wind deflectors
Too much power? Keep it below 2500 and 1/2 throttle, uh, make that 1/3 throttle
Likes ride? Get her a test ride in a bowrider with an 15 degree deadrise.

The problem is she already was in the Cobalt model we are looking at and liked it. It's already too late.......sniff :-(

My wife never set foot in my Carlson so I didn't have your problem, but if she had your wife's attitude I would have told her to get her own boat.

Trade the wife in!

That's more expensive than buying a second boat.

I have a sale in the works, we'll see, I've had two deals that didn't go through due to they couldn't qualify.

I'm not going to bring it out to Annapolis, $5k to bring it out and back and $1300 to retrofit my boat lift for the steps in my hull. Just too much for 3 months of boating. So it'll sit in Dallas till next year with the occasional ride when I come home until it sells.

sold !! :-(

sucks you had to sell but good on ya!!!!!!
