Waiting for the Utah thaw. Picked up a 2003 240 after a windy week in Powell. Upgraded from a 19 to a 24. Used her once, brought her home and winterized her and have been dreaming about unwrapping her since.

A hearty hi ho sliver welcome from Texas CollegeFund. Thanks for joining us here. I have a 242 with the same color scheme. That's a good looking boat and a fine tow vehicle.

Welcome from Oklahoma CF! I'm pretty partial to a 2003 240 as I just sold one! You're going to love that boat and we're all looking forward to seeing more pictures with you and your family on the water

It is a factory tower, it’s running an 8.1 Volvo. And I was to chicken to run Powell because my previous boat was only 19’. We were invited to spend a week on a houseboat. Had a complete blast running in the coves, but the channel was too big for my runabout. We got off the water on Saturday, looked at almost 30 boats. Picked this one up Friday and spent the day on the lake Saturday. Brought her home and winterized. She’s pretty well set up, just need to undo some PO “ideas”!

Couple pics, and yes I have all the filler cushions! I do wish it had CC though. Seems a shame if you can’t hear a BB!

CF...those pics are fantastic. I saved them to my computer then rotated them for ya. Too good to look at sideways.
(btw, before I upload a pic, I'll open in windows pic program and change something slightly then save.) It will post normally then.
OR
Take the pic in landscape mode on phone. It will post right side up.

Yes very cool. Welcome to the black boats rule club :-)
It's a Shame more of the previous Cobalt owners didn't want to hear the roar of the bb. It should have been standard on that option. So guys and gals ordering new boats help us out for our new purchases in ten years. Get cc option :-)
