Re: Spring 2026 Photos
Spring is close for sure, I have started making a list of things we need to do to the boat prior to Memorial Day. Here is a picture from late last season. Helps me to remember that spending all the time and money on the boat is worth it when you get the lake to yourself on a night with a sunset like ...

Re: New Cobalt flag pole kit installed...
Your flag install looks great.
Does the quick links make much noise rattling against the pole? I’ve got carabiners attaching my flag to the pole and the noise drives me nuts. I keep thinking the noise is coming from my outdrive or the motor.
They do make a little noise. The first time I heard ...

Re: New Cobalt flag pole kit installed...
Fun fact - Cobalt No Longer uses flag poles and mounts manufactured by Tig Tech...and let me tell you Tig Tech is not thrilled about it.
Our R5 did not come w/ a flag pole - first order of business was of course to add one, a Cobalt isn't a Cobalt w/o a Flag Pole, I will fight people on that. So I ...

Re: R4 Trailer Bow Stop Position
I went down a pretty deep rabbit hole of trailer setup when we started towing heavier boats. Even bought a tongue weight scale. The wife loved it. What I found is a few inches can make a huge difference - that's what she said. I also found that at least in my experience Heritage puts more weight on ...

Re: New boat buyer here....lots of questions....
.
So glad you found us gb…..
A 26’ (really 27 ish with the platform) is under powered with a 350. That’s why it’s not selling IMHO.
If you don’t plan on doing much water sports and like to just cruise occasionally then this is the boat for you.
And welcome aboard mate.

Just to clarify ...

Re: 2019 R3 - 20 second Beep Alarm?
The boat will start because if the person is overboard you want the remaining people on board to start engine and be able to rescue person overboard.
I get it. It’s not like my Sea Doo where the lanyard is both a key and a safety cut off for when the operator falls off. It would be nice if ...

Re: Mooring cover, Malibu parts
I'm definitely going to check these Commercial sewing/ Malibalt covers out. I tried the cheapskate route and bought a Seal Skin online. The advertising says it will fit my boat. Was very disappointed, looks like it was made to fit A boat, just not mine. Appears to be a general V bottom 22-23 foot ...

Re: Saved $300,000 (‘06 282 Now Surfing!”
Nauti, we use Current, too. Nice facility, nice guys, and 10 minute drive.
So far we have been happy /w them and the facility. For years Katie used a Mechanic down at Dale Hollow. Super convenient and they did really good work. They decided to retire - tired of crawling around in boats - and I ...

That’s a great point Bruce.
PA passed a law a few years back limiting wake surfing to direct drive inboard and v-drive propulsion boats.
Our 263 (like the 282 above) had the extra extended swim platform option which placed the outdrive so far under the boat that you couldn’t hit it if ...

Re: Best batteries in 2025?
Odyssey AGM is certainly a better battery, but I've been buying Interstate 27DC Marine/RV batteries from Costco simply because they're so much cheaper ($90). I have one that's 10 years old and one that's five years old right now, and I intend to replace the 10 year old one this year with a new one ...
