New member 2011 A25

Post by Mccoy38 »

New member from KY! Just purchased a 2011 A25. Not sure why previous owner purchased a red trailer but it’s a 2019. Pulled her home last week from Wisconsin 7 hrs. Has the 8.2 Merc and bravo 3 X. Boat looks basically new. Used this forum a lot while deciding on model. Great site!

Hey M38. Welcome to the Cobaltchat forum. So glad you found us!

Great color combo and you’re going to love that engine- outdrive package.

How did the 7 hour tow go. Any issues?

What upgrades are you planning?

Again welcome aboard mate!

No issues with the drive. Pulled great with F150 3.5EB. Chicago roads were really bad so that was worst part of drive. May add some sea deck to platform and upgrade to Bluetooth deck. Probably add trim tabs at some point and drive shower. Not sure there is much else I would do to her. Yeah love the engine in this boat and DTS!

Yes do the drive shower first. Then your right in line with the upgrades you need to do next. I agree with each of them. Yes never go through Chicago. Go around. Faster and better. Did Jerry's treat you right? I guess if you were going to keep the trailer maybe paint it. Is it built for the boat?

Yeah Jerry’s was great to deal with. Cool little town. Painless and quick transaction.

Probably will paint trailer at some point but not on top of list at the moment. It is custom to the boat and pulls great. Will get some interior pictures. Love the retractable dock lines and fender clips lol. Great boat so far.

Mostly Cumberland but we will go to KY Lake some and keep it in louisville and go on the Ohio some when water conditions are decent.

Welcome aboard! Nice boat, but I'm a bit biased. Fellow KY boater here. Rough River with early and late season river boating thrown in. Louisville to Madison is fun.

Congrats on your purchase! I actually looked at your boat a few weeks ago. It was in really good shape! I only passed on it because they had a 262 coming in on trade that I purchased instead. The sales guy at Jerry's said the previous owner was a Wisconsin Badgers fan which is why he bought a red trailer. :-)

Yeah that’s what he told me too. Title says it is blue! If he had that trailer sprayed on purpose I will flip out lol.

For a 2011 it’s in really good shape and working order. Took a few more pictures.
