Cobalt did not offer the extra extended swim platform before 2005. (they all have the regular platform). Jrcramer1's is a 2001.
I spoke with Jrc today. I bought the potable water tank and valve from him.

That's cool he had it.

Yes, it's certainly cool to have a Cobalt 263 parts boat relatively close by. I can't find that potable tank for a 260 series anymore. Figure I would buy it just in case mine ever has an issue.

Seeing that he cut the boat in half you should just buy the bottom half. Lol

Maybe that would double the hull warranty to 20 years. :D

You guys were right no need for a extended warranty.

That's interesting. When I spoke to the individual who had the 99.9% loaded 2004 263, he said the .1% part he did not have was the extra extended swim platform since it was not offered as an option until 2005. Maybe the dealer gave him bad info.
Thanks for the correction, YT. In any event, I know jrc did not have that on his 2001.

Maybe it was because it was a McBoat? It has a wiper and automatic stern light too.

Possibly!
I just went through all the Cobalt 2000-2007 brochures.
The extended swim platform option was not offered until 2003. I think your original owner had some McDonald’s HP clout behind him to have an original extended swim platform installed....either that or you have a 2003 (or later) 262 model! :shock:

Hi,
Have a pristine 2006 262 Bowrider that you might be interested in. Here are a couple of pictures plus the invoice showing all the options. Currently has about 306 hours. Always stored on a lift under cover with a complete cover that goes under the keel. Not a scratch on the hull. No trailer. Let me know if you are interested.
Thanks
