I pondered that one because the drain hole was bigger. But I went with the offset one that just screws in the existing drain plug hole .Works great at 8,000 lumensBig Block Power wrote: Mon Apr 16, 2018 4:43 pmI would think it would match up to the original brass plug that is already there.liquid wrote: Mon Apr 16, 2018 3:10 pm Using that plug involves drilling.

The brass mickey mouse led drain I posted above is supposed to be installed with the the existing bolts without any drilling, but I’ll find out for sure in a few days when I have the boat in my driveway.

Crap i think you're right. Just involves unscrewing/screwing eh? I can get behind that.Big Block Power wrote: Mon Apr 16, 2018 4:43 pmI would think it would match up to the original brass plug that is already there.liquid wrote: Mon Apr 16, 2018 3:10 pm Using that plug involves drilling.

If it's sealed in with 5200 it's going to be a b itch to get off.liquid wrote: Tue Apr 17, 2018 8:48 amCrap i think you're right. Just involves unscrewing/screwing eh?

That's what I'm hoping not to find, that stuff is no joke. If it comes off I'll use 4000 to put the LED version on. If it doesn't come off I'll go with something else, like the one cmattj posted.Big Block Power wrote: Tue Apr 17, 2018 8:27 pm

Re: Just purchased a 1999 Cobalt 232 in Utah.
I finally towed my boat home from the dealership yesterday. Here’s a couple pics of it behind my truck, and more will follow. 
Edit: It only lets me attach one pic on mobile, I’ll add more later from home.

I almost bought that 232 last September. It is in good shape. I ended up going with an 06 226.

Re: Just purchased a 1999 Cobalt 232 in Utah.
Cool. By the time I came along it was still on consignment and listed $21,300 obo. You probably saw it had some nicks in the props, the trailer needs a little tlc, the old stereo is bad, and the trim indicator wasn't working.stan1541 wrote: Wed Apr 25, 2018 11:23 am I almost bought that 232 last September.

I offered them $15,000 and they accepted.
The Prop Doc in Provo already fixed the props for $200 cash, I already got the trim indicator working after buying a new sender, I'm installing a new Sony stereo and JBL speakers today, and the trailer will get some fresh paint and new bunks in a couple weeks. Also, I just did my inventory last night by emptying all of the storage compartments onto my front lawn, and this is everything they gave me with the boat:

That's quite the inventory. Looks like you've got about everything you need to get started.

Re: Just purchased a 1999 Cobalt 232 in Utah.
Yeah, it was a definite selling point that it had all that gear in it. I"m a first time owner (long time boater) so getting all that gear was a nice addition to that boat. Back then they wouldn't take less than $20k i was told, so I moved on. You got a killer deal.

Re: Just purchased a 1999 Cobalt 232 in Utah.
Awesome! Glad they included all that stuff too. When I looked at my boat (it was on consignment too), it had some dock lines, fenders, basic life jackets, an anchor, etc. I assumed all that would come with it, never clarified though. When the boat was delivered to me it was empty, they took everything out. I was really disappointed in them for that.

Re: Just purchased a 1999 Cobalt 232 in Utah.
That's why when I sell a boat it's empty and I say you get just the boat. All the extra crap is what costs money. As all of you are all finding out the boat is the cheap part.
