Cobalt Boats Forum

It has the 7.4 gi. I got it up to 51 on gps during our test run with a full tank of gas, 4 adults and 2 kids. The duo props could probably use a service. There are a couple small dings. Might be able to get some more mph after that.

Both navigation lights are LED. I want to convert all the lights to LED eventually.

Those seats were on the boat when I got it. Thinking about buying these cobalt condura seats. Guy is asking $200 for both of them.

I also replaced the bow navigation light, the stern light, and the horn switch.

Things I plan on doing:
It has minor oxidation, so I want to try the Meguiars One Step Compound. Anyone try this product?
Vinyl wrap the panels in the helm.
Replace the steering wheel.
Install led lighting in the ...

The stereo wasn’t working, so I decided to replace the whole system. I put in a Kenwood marine receiver, and a Boss 1950w marine amplifier. Sounds great with the JL speakers. I also added a 3 way 12v outlet with a cigaret lighter plug, a usb outlet with a volt meter, and an on off switch. I wanted ...

The bow was missing and I was thinking about getting an upholstery shop to make a replacement, but knew that it wouldn’t look quite right. The curved back of the cushion would be really hard to match. Thankfully I was able to find one on eBay for less than $100! It’s not an exact match, but ...

The trailer needed some major work. The actuator was bent and needed to be replaced. The brakes had been removed and the brake lines were totally destroyed.
I replaced the actuator, installed disc brakes, new brake lines, and new bearings all around.

I recently bought a 1998 Cobalt 232 that was acquired by a marina from someone who stopped paying their dry stack fees. It had been sitting for a while and needed a good clean, and some things repaired, but it’s cleaning up very nice. Here are some of the things that I’ve done over the past couple ...

It has the Volvo 7.4gi. Should be able to get up and go? I’m not looking to win any races, but don’t want to be slugging around. I’m just curious how his boat was performing to use as a comparison for when I test drive.

Thanks! I’m looking at buying the same boat next week. I’ll be test driving it next weekend. What’s the top speed your getting in yours? Anything you do not like about the boat? Anything to look out for?

Where did you find the steering wheel that you put in. Looks nice!
