Just purchased a 1999 Cobalt 232 in Utah.

[Mr Hahn]

Hi guys! My name is Nate and I'm located in American Fork, UT. I just purchased a 1999 Cobalt 232 with a Volvo Penta 7.4Gi motor and a Volvo DuoProp. The boat was a single owner on consignment at a local dealership with 320 hours on it. I'll post a few pics of my own when I tow it home next week, for now here's a few pics from the dealership listing:

Hey, great pics Nate ( Mr. Hahn). So glad you found us!

She looks to be in great shape — with low hours too.

Looking forward to those driveway pics in the near future. Congrats on a nice find.


...and welcome aboard mate!
(btw, some stainless cup holders would look very sharp in your cockpit)

Any idea where I could find some that fit? I'm going to change to this steering wheel when I can find one with a Cobalt logo for the center cap, and I think stainless cupholders would look good with this wheel.


Also here's what else I have planned for my boat:

The original stereo doesn't work so I'm installing Polk DB651 speakers and a Sony MEXM100BT that can output 40W rms x 4 at 4 ohms



I'm going to order some better looking domed hull numbers like this and move them closer to the bow.


I'm going to convert the docking lights to led, add some led interior lights, and install an led drain plug assembly like this one.


And the boat trailer needs new straps, new bunk carpet, and some fresh paint so I'm going to paint it dark green to match the stripes and canvas on my boat.

Welcome from AZ! Can't wait to see the upgrades your have planned

[AsLan7]

Great to see your upgrade ambitions, Nate!

BigBlockPower did the same wheel swap and will chime in on that.

I upgraded our stereo head unit to that exact model last year. You’ll enjoy it for sure.

Also did the LED and drain plug light upgrade too. Haven’t had a chance to use her at night though yet. You’ll have to post a pic of yours.

...and thank you for the pics. We love them here!

Awesome mods that will make a world of difference. Before you order that plug light make sure you have the clearance to spin it in. That model fits flush against the transom and the bottom of the outdrive may get in the way, but you can get the Y model that will work. It has the lights pointing out at 45° angles and a drain hole in the middle.

Also, you'll need to get the Cobalt center cap logo from Cobalt for that wheel. Or you can have a small, thin round piece of aluminum laser cut and glue it on. That would be pretty cool!

Welcome from Wisconsin. Lots of boaters from Utah joining.

What Yt said or you can buy the $7 cobalt sticker for the center. Not sure if that center is the auto rotating one I can't tell from here. I got lucky and found one on eBay. But yes you will have to go through the dealer.
The stainless steel cup holders with leds in them are on eBay and Amazon.

Also I would buy a 4or6 channel amp right away. Do you have speakers in the bow. Replace those too.
Don't worry we will help you spend your money way faster than you can I your own.
I like the flag as well

Wait... That plug light actually screws into the transom in place of the plug itself. If that's the case it'll work!

Welcome from St. Louis! Looks like a nice clean boat for the age! Glad you found us and am looking forward to more pics.

Welcome from KY!

You beat everyone to the punch on spending your money! You've got a great list of upgrades that everyone would have told you to do immediately, sooo GOOD WORK!

Using that plug involves drilling. I don't like drilling so i just used the single light. I'd probably go with the Y split in retrospect.

Welcome to the forum, very clean rig.

I would think it would match up to the original brass plug that is already there.
