Re: New Member 23 SC - Highland Beach, FL

Welcome from Tx / about to be Florida! Great looking boat you have there! We are moving in the next few weeks (West Palm area) not too far from you.

Yes, it is. Did you pick up your 296 earlier this year? I believe I saw it out sitting out after a fresh detail prior to your pick up.
Hope you're enjoying it!

Re: Replacement stereo head unit?

which Sony remote do you have? I replaced my head unit with the Sony DSX-M55BT and the remotes work just fine, only nothing shows up on the remote screen anymore. All functions work otherwise. If you're running your stereo and speakers through an amp then this head unit would work just fine for you....

Re: White Vinyl Discoloration / Stain?

hmm I guess I'm lucky then? Glass is still clear (again no spraying on the boat only the swim platform) and fiberglass clean as well. Scrubbing bubbles is part of my annual deep interior clean and its amazing the shine it brings out every year.

Re: White Vinyl Discoloration / Stain?

Im interested if theres a certain spray sunscreen that causes this? Ive used spray sunscreen since we first got the boat in 2011 and have yet to have any staining on the seats due to using it. While I encourage and enforce not spraying standing in the middle of the boat, throughout the day people ne...

Re: Gel Coat issues on my brand new R5!!

sucks to see this happen, but its good to see Cobalt step up and fix this.. If it were me, I'd accept their offer to replace the hull under one condition. Refund the difference you paid vs purchasing a year old boat from the same dealer. Yes you get to use it for the summer but your brand new boat t...

Re: Drove a new ram 1500 yesterday

Definitely a Ford guy here. Ive had them all. Started out in a Chevy with a TrailBlazer then got a Ram 1500 Hemi, which was the absolute worst POS truck I've ever owned. Then went into an '08 2500 Silverado (nice truck minor issues but interior gets cheap feeling very quick it seems), a few Tahoes (...
