Will this accomplish shorty poles for you?

Shouldn’t make a difference, just explain that you need a extra set of rear Bimini support poles. My dealer was not a stickler for a HIN. They’re just stainless poles.

I have a new to me 2011 210. We have to rack store it which requires the Bimini to be laid down. The brackets for the rear stanchions leave scratches. I had one Cobalt owner tell me his came with a set of shorter 18” rear stanchions, but in calling Cobalt and several dealers, I’m told that’s not ...

Third.. That boat shed-for days ...

Congratulations

So happy with how they turned out. Scurrying to get completed by 7//1/2023.

There are plenty of these Mercruiser engines listed on Facebook marketplace. Around 1979, Cobalt switched from the 302 and 351 cu in motors, which were Ford based, to 305 and 350 cu in motors, which are GM based.

The Admiral has a great ...

Congrats good to see a classic go to another member of this Cult!
