I have put improvements into the boat, and trailer. No problems at all. $14000 is an asking price. Got to start somewhere

Looking to move up is all. This would be an excellent first Cobalt for somebody. I have zero problems with this boat.

Selling my 1995 Cobalt 220 with trailer. $14,000. Around 500 hrs. Mint condition. 350 MAG. Steering wheel update. New High quality Bimini. Like new Mooring covers. Always kept in a covered slip, or indoors. Located in La Crosse Wi. Text 608-385-5116

Hey Fellas, any suggestions for Bimini top frames for 1995 220? Better off having custom made? Ideas on what other years or models would work for my boat?

Thanks in advance

Hello folks. Anybody experience bow window not shutting properly on an older 220? My 1995 window and bow window and doors do not shut properly. Any known fixes out there?

Thanks for the idea, but I don't think the above parts number will fit the 1995 220. The emblem goes above the rub rail, and technically has a a slight curve to the emblem

Hello folks! I have talked with a few of you regarding the potential purchase of my first Cobalt. Well I pulled the trigger!! Thanks to many of your pointers and tips. Ended up giving more than what my budget allowed, but feel like I now have an outstanding boat. Spend its entire life on Green Lake ...

wow! What a beauty!! Congrats

great advise. Thank you. Hoping this all checks out and I can drag this puppy home soon. I have a mechanic scheduled to inspect on Saturday.

As long as it was taken care of you have no worries. The MEFI 1 FI is very reliable and simple to maintain. The only semi-common problem on the early ones like yours and mine is the VST (Vapor Separation Tank) seals going bad causing hard starting. Easy to fix, or ask if it's been serviced ...

Thank you Big Block Power. I do believe the boat was kept inside most of its life. I will definitely be checking the trailer to ensure proper fitment. When you say market price, do you mean that is what the market is bringing for that vintage of a boat??

Welcome tentatively to the 220 club! Great hull and w/ that power should be no slouch.

My main concern with the '95 would be the inclusion of wood in the structural components - I know my '98 does not have any, but I'm thinking '95 might have. Take a read through of this link:
