Re: Outer Armor Covers by Commercial Sewing

Crap. Well, thank you for that Snowman8. Such a bummer, I NEED that cover!! There is no other covers like that anywhere. Looks like I'll have to go with the Sunbrella canvas type.

Re: Shipping a Boat

Hi there,
So funny, I just bought a 2012 273 last August, it was from Seattle, I live in South Lake Tahoe. I ended up traveling up to Idaho to pick it up myself. I was going to use interstate haulers. They seem a good company when I was trying to schedule with them. It really depends on the driver ...

Outer Armor Covers by Commercial Sewing

Does anyone with a 2012 273 with arch and the extended or without the extended platform have one??

They only have one for the extended swim platform, I'm wondering if I could just get the extended swim platform one and then just cinch it up! Right??
Pictures would be awesome. Thanks all in ...

Water in 2012 lower drive oil

Hi all,
Doing drive service first time on a 2012 273 with a Volvo Penta 8.1 Gi. The drive spewed out a milky/white oil, obviously has water in the oil. I'm assuming the inside is all corroded. My options are to rebuild the lower drive or just buy a new lower. I'm leaning towards just buying a new ...

Yeah, cool Bruce I'll call them tomorrow, thanks. We are located in South Lake Tahoe, my boat is at Camp Rich. Smokey again today. We are pulling it tomorrow for the season as it looks like weather change is coming Wednesday, snow levels at 8000 ft. So Big Block, I'm looking at the OG invoice for ...

Re: Lake Tahoe Prop Pitch

Thanks so much for all the information A7 and Bruce. Everyone here that I talk to in Tahoe is telling me to purchase a "high altitude prop". Then they ask what my WOT rpm's are and cruising rpm's. We had her out yesterday for the first time and I got her up to 4200 rpms going 40-42 mph and at 3000 ...

Hi,

Wondering what motor/props/pitch people are running on their Cobalts here in Lake Tahoe. We just acquired our 2012 Cobalt 273, it comes with sea level props on my Volvo Penta 8.1gi 400 HP, I believe they are F5. The boat dry weight is 5800 lbs.

Sea trial in Lake Coeur d'Alene at 2128 ft was ...
