New Cobalt owner here

Post by BIGGUSBLOCKUS »

ImageHello all, Just gave my deposit on a new to me 2007 232 with a 6.2 and a B3. 255 hours, one owner, very clean and nicely optioned. What sold me on this boat over the other 232s and 242s I looked at was the stereo upgrades. JL Audio 8" speakers everywhere and a huge amplifier. Bluetooth head unit, etc. I was surprised at the anemic sound of the factory stuff.

Looking forward to learning and contributing. My screen name comes not from my boat but my other Fiberglass toy - a 1965 Corvette with a big block 396 under the hood.

Ill try to post up some pics when I'm at my computer .

Hey BIGGUSBLOCKUS, welcome to the CobaltChat forum. So glad you found us!

Great 👍🏻 232 boat purchase...& congrats. We need pics plz!

Bunch of gear heads here as well....& Yes! post pictures of your vette. An American icon. The '67 split window big blocks are some of my faves...maybe because the astronauts of the era drove them too.

In any event, welcome aboard. You'll be right at home here. 8-)

Yep it's missing the"C"
Or if it was YT's boat it would be missing the "M"

Oh sorry didn't see you were logged in. I wouldn't want to say it behind your back or give you fancy rims.

Yes..that was tongue & cheek BbP.
Those pieces (and letters) are very susceptible to the fenders breaking them off while at the docks.

I purposefully wear my fenders lower on the stern of the boat to alleviate that problem. 8-)

Nice job with the "M" though! :D

I did get it from Bald Mike, seems like a super guy and made the process fun. Very responsive with questions and very patient with the process.
