Re: One of those "what do you do" threads...

Well I'm eatin' what you're makin' Ytmsn & Tuscany! And I have great respect for our service manager with whom I work closely due to a rare Hybrid SUV we own (Aspen) that occasionally needs serviced by the Hybrid certified mechanics. Don't want this baby missing a beat while pulling our Cobalt. ...

Re: Hellooooo Cobalt peeps....anyone with a 262 or 263?

Very cool. Yes water sports is one of the reasons we have the 220. The zxo is a future boat. Yea you would think it would run faster but nope. Yep the bigger cobalt run the same speed. A bit disappointing. Oh well. They won't beat me out of the hole though she's a rocket. Still, mid 50's is fast on...

Re: What upgrades have you done to your boat?

Btw, I love bringing this stuff up at the manufacturers boat shows. They don't want to hear it but it needs to be voiced. I'll mention all the positive things we LOVE about Cobalts. But then ask--what were you guys thinking on this item. They are usually as perplexed as I am. Well, at least it gives...

I'm sure it he could tow it. Just ask. All of mine have been trailer towed no issues. Just ask the marina to go through the bearings and inspect the tires. You can have tire issues at any time though. Ok, Boat Transportation ! His name is : Charlie Taylor Number : 713-398-0003 Tell him Richard Q fr...

Re: What upgrades have you done to your boat?

Haha, right? :lol: The way they mounted that Jamb, I can't believe it can survive the showroom. I find it almost ironic. Cobalt is so well built with such attention to detail--for 99.999% of the boat. ... and then there will be just one or two little items that make no sense--as if they put a 10 ye...

Re: Ok let's get July going. Pictures guys :-) This includes John :-)

I will definitely stop by Tuscany! You hit the nail on the head with the Lake. You certainly have to respect her. It's why we don't have a slip at NE marina. We need to be mobile depending on what conditions are like so as to boat in the protection of the bay or the open water of the lake. That trif...

Is Erie as cold as Michigan? As soon as I hear from mr.vegas I'll let you know. Thanks for your help Big block! I take it the shipping company will just tow it vs loading the entire rig--trailer and all--onto a flat bed? What has been your experience with shipping boats on a trailer? Oh, in the sum...

Re: Trailer Safety Before Use When Left at Public Ramp

Had someone steal my winch handle once. I now take that off and leave it in my SUV storage while boating or storing.

Sure stinks to try to unload and load your boat without it!

Well, We are getting thru hull exhaust with Captain's call option installed as well as Bennett Trim tabs to help with balancing deep vee w/ folks on the boat. Please forgive the mess as we have not been able to clean up this new purchase yet. It will eventually be spotless after the install and we a...

Re: Welcome to the Forum

Since I don't do facebook, this forum came at a perfect time as the other site went full up social media. I guess I'm old school but can't thank you enough for starting this site. Cobalt owners are incredibly loyal to their brand and I also find them as one of the most knowledgeable boat owner's out...

Re: Am I the first?

Well thanks to all on the forum who reside in neighboring states for the warm welcome. Although, I think we need more Lake Erie boater's on this site. Such a gem in the summer. Let's see some more Lake Erie posts from anyone out there! 8-)

Re: That Legendary Cobalt Shine.

I must say, I'm floored at that shine Tuscany. Wow. :o :o :o

Re: Ok let's get July going. Pictures guys :-) This includes John :-)

Hey Tuscany. Great to hear from you. ....and congrats on that brand new R7! I normally keep my boat on the trailer at North East Marina which is right on the border of NY. It is also the closest distance to Long Point Canada where there are white sand protected beaches accessible by boat alone. (sm...
