Thanks! I've had prior experience with Texas Marine and wasn't impressed. Lake Shore is the Cobalt dealer here. I'd assume they're good but don't know for sure. Right now they're my first choice.

I was #3 of 5 in trail of boats and wacked a stump doing about 20. Bent a blade and loosened the outdrive so I've got a leak when sitting still. Gonna drop her of tomorrow.

Ouch. That stinks. I thought all lakes in Texas were over 100 ft deep. You found the 1 stump. Normally your ok in the line.

I've used Lakeshore Service for the past 5 years I've been on Conroe. They are the go to Cobalt service in the area and was recommended to me by the local Cobalt dealer former Lakeshore Sports, now Rinkers Lakeshore. I'm not sure if Rinkers is doing Cobalt service in house now since the changeover as they do at their other location, but would give them a call to confirm.

To clarify, as I read down further, Lakeshore Service is separate from Rinkers Lakeshore sports. Actually the husband of the general manager of Rinkers Lakeshore owns Lakeshore Service.

Lakeshore did all the previous owners work. No complsints, except the invoices looked expensive in the records i have. Though that is relative.

Texans like to make sure Northerners can understand us. That's one reason we talk real slow and repeat everything multiple times. My wife calls me "Rainman" and she is from Texas (of course).
