Gotta love clean old boats, nice pics

They are in a old Ford dealership close to where I work, they even have a restaurant in building, like going there for lunch and checking out the boats, the guy that owns it also has a fully restored Sinclair gas station complete with tow truck, pretty neat, and it just sits there for looks I guess

The guy said he thinks there's only 4 left and existence but a quick Google check looks like there may be a few more, although some may be copies. This is the boat that Donzi sued Cobalt for because it was a copy of a sweet 16.

Either way, I had some serious drool over this ride!

With all due respect to my BFF (Yt): The GT was splashed from the Corsican, the XV's from the Sweet 16 -- known collectively as the "lawsuit models."

Here's an XV in action:

While beautiful and frighteningly fast, they are not in my opinion the first gen Cobalts. They are a prelude. More later . . .

Exactly Kate...a result of transforming a fiberglass slide "factory" into splashing boat molds in order to reinvent a business. I find it ironic Pack did this to avoid slide litigation... only to end up in the controversial hull splashing lawsuit game. It obviously paid off for him.
