To say he loves that boat would be an understatement. He's got a 1924 Star Sailboat that he fully restored that unfortunately he just can't sail anymore... honestly we're scared to death to sail it.

I took those shots from my 86 Century Riviera that I just sold. I'll post pics of that bad boy when i get a second. Another beautiful boat with clean lines.

We're a fan of the classics :D

Was just looking around the forum and popped in here again - still the only 190 owner on the planet! - I got a thought... let's see everyone's first boat.

If you have a pic or pics of your first love/hate post em up. My century is above and rebuilt much of that boat. Bought it for $600, and sold it for $700 6 years later. I loved that thing. I have to dig around for our previous boat - "the Duct Tape".

A bit older, but here's a low hour 190 for sale in Texas...

https://houston.craigslist.org/boa/6090734661.html

It's a 5.0 VP single prop. Looks pretty clean, but not showroom like Liquid's.

That's pretty clean. Low hours. Not sure what those extra badges are... never seen those before.

I always liked the blue piping on the seats - mine is white.

That boat's a steal at that price, provided it's only lived in freshy. It'll be gone in a week.

haha... I'm all set on that one.

I am telling you these are sweet little boats. I targeted it. If this thing starts when you turn the key it's a no-brainer starter boat.

Imagine you could climb into a Cobalt for under 10K for your first boat. Drive it for a few years problem free?

Wish I did that first...

Haha. I love a good ebay or craigslist challenge!

My ongoing search for Cobalts will ease up once mine arrives ** next week **. Though, I will be keeping my eye out for a good deal on a 242 in the fall...
