Wow. Nice job Argo.
Great documentation too.
Would you do anything differently now that it’s completed?

.
So glad you found us PB1.

The 253 is a nice craft for sure. You may want to jump up to the 2000 and later 262/263 models. I believe wood transoms were the norm before that verses all fiberglass/composite construction after.

And welcome aboard mate.

So glad you found us jp19...

Not sure about the certification plate change but I will say that having both carbureted and fuel injected boats; hands down fuel injected for the ease of starting, reliability, and ease of use.

Lookin' good pt..! Love your boy's smile. A future Cobalt owner for sure.

She sure does…and my favorite colors!

Not bashing Cobalt here. This boat has been amazing and this is going to get covered. Obviously, this should be impossible. Just a word of warning to any R33 ...

Hello all
I just joined up here. I purchased a 2006 Cobalt 282BR a year ago and really enjoy this boat. It has a factory Bimini top; however, I am interested in finding an arch tower, preferably a used OEM that they originally came with new. I've had no luck finding one and now thinking of having ...
