Hi,

Just bought our first Cobalt, a 2011 210. We upgraded from a 2008 Chaparral 190 SSI, and are really enjoying the extra room and horses. It’s a very well built boat and a definite step up in overall fit and finish. With any luck, we’ll be cruising this one until we’re old and grey (well, until I’m grey anyhow). This forum has been a great help so far, so “thanks” for being here for Cobalt owners!

Hey photo_G, welcome to the Cobalt chat forum. So glad you found us!

How will you be using your Cobalt? Any pics of her on the water or behind your tow rig? You’re going to make quite a few great memories this summer while boating. 👌🏼

...and once again, welcome aboard mate! 8-)

Hi AsLan7,

We just love being on the water, so it's for cruising and exploring and maybe occasionally pulling a towable or skier. I'll be sure to post a few pics soon!

Hi BBP,

No, we had a 4.3 GL (190 HP, SX drive) and this one is a 4.3 GXi (225 HP), but it runs a lot smoother as it's fuel injected with a DP drive...definitely makes a difference.
