Cobalt Boats Forum

$38,500 One of the cleanest boats you will ever see! We are building a new home and putting in a pool, so we don’t think we will use it as much. Always stored in dry storage or on a lift. The 5.7 Mercruiser with Bravo 3 out drive puts the boat on plane very quickly and tops out at 53 miles per hour!...

I don’t have pics of my seat, but the break in mine looks exactly like the photos in this thread. I’ll give him a shout soon. I do want to take pics to send him first. Thanks again for the info.

Thank you. I’ll look him up.

Did you ever find a new seat pan? I have an ‘05 226 with the same issue. Thank you in advance for any information you can provide.

Here is the “fun” stat. I had just bought the boat Wednesday before Labor Day. So ... first weekend out resulted in a $800+ service invoice. Welcome to boat ownership! We plan to keep her in a lift this coming season.

Yeah, the dealer said it got pretty toasty. Not enough to do any major damage though .. thank goodness!

Good catch! This was Wednesday morning after Labor Day and the impeller had exploded sometime over the weekend resulting in the idle control sensor melting. Fortunately there was literally no traffic on the water.

Thank you for the warm welcome! First Cobalt, yes .. actually first boat! Grew up on the water, but never a boat owner until now. Swim platform is OEM. Planning on adding gator step or seadek this spring. Also, replacing the carpet with sea grass type and redoing the upholstery soon.

2005 226 w/350 mag and Bravo 3.
