Re: Engine temp

Our temp goes up about 10 degrees after an extended run and then quickly go back to idle. It cools back to 162 in less than a minute.

Re: CS22 must have options

Put the Garmin in the dash and trim switch on the stern.
Biggest engine and drive that is reasonable for you.
Enjoy!

Re: New CS23!

Congratulations, love the sport package and that you got the Garmin. On our's the left gauge will get hot and the digital gauge will go black. We put a towel over the dash when floating. This is a great size boat to get around with. Be careful when you have the bimini up.

Re: Outer Armor (Mooring Covers)

It has been great for us. We bought ours with the boat. We store our boat outside with the cover and trailer with it on as necessary. In the winter we wrap the boat so the cover is used about 6 months per year and seems to be wearing fine. In the spring I treated it with waterproofing.

Re: Noob need help with upholstery patch

Try this from classicdyeproducts.com. I had a cut that was about 3/16. The repair is not invisible, but I bet I will have for gotten about it by next spring. You may need to put a backing material in for the repairs you described. This was recommended to me by a vinyl repair person I contacted.

Re: Need CS23 pics

Shale with orange boot stripe. It does show scratches and towing rash easily, but that will buff out! We store it with side skirts and swimplatfom cover. The swimplatfom cover fits well over a lillypad stored on the platform.

Re: Cs22 wraparound platform

I have a CS23. We selected it because of the stern shape and swim platform. The layout really brings the whole boat together and makes everything usable at once. My kids start from one end of the boat and run straight to the other.

Re: Formula 292 with a Fearless USCG name.

Here is the same fearless boat in the water in Chicago! This is from Sept 2017, took the picture when I was visiting. Love it!

Re: New Cobalt in Colorado

Mmmmmm, delicious.
I wish CS23 would have been offered with the 430. Or should I have asked nicely and perhaps gotten something that was not offered on the menu?

Re: New Member...2016 220S

The layout of the boats with the access to the stern via the walkway, coupled with the swim step, makes the entire boat inviting to be used. We have the 350 5.3 in ours. We need to be very careful with the throttle. When on plane just slightly bumping the throttle will make a big difference quickly....

We hope to do a tour in the near future. Thanks for the compliment. The boat just looks fun and memorable. We really like the access to the stern.

Re: New Cobalt in Colorado

We think our boat started being built in May/June 2019. Our interior is orange and grey. It would be cool to have pictures of it though!
