Another welcome from Texas! classic and well taken care of Cobalt you have there
Enjoy!
I know the white knuckle feeling! We towed ours from CT to TX and the dealer we bought the trailer from didn't adjust it properly and was set too far back. The swaying...heart drop, white knuckle moments.

Thank you all for the welcome. I'm looking forward to plenty of wisdom and humor and hope I can tell the difference.

Awesome AtlCobalt!

Btw, make sure you carry a spare winch handle for that trailer. I had that one on my previous Dorsey Trailer and someone stole it! Not fun if you are trying to load your boat at the ramp. (Or keep the one you currently have in your tow rig while your away.) 8-)

There are several small cracks in the gel coat on the topside where the bow tonneau snaps are. Previous owner said they just recently showed up. Will probably get them fixed this winter.
