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.

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.Big Block Power wrote: Fri Jun 22, 2018 10:51 pmThat's cool he had it.AsLan7 wrote: Fri Jun 22, 2018 10:42 pm.

Seeing that he cut the boat in half you should just buy the bottom half. LolAsLan7 wrote: Fri Jun 22, 2018 10:54 pmYes, it's certainly cool to have a Cobalt 263 parts boat relatively close by.

Maybe that would double the hull warranty to 20 years.Big Block Power wrote: Sat Jun 23, 2018 8:31 amSeeing that he cut the boat in half you should just buy the bottom half.

Re: WTB 2000-2007 Cobalt 262/263
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.Ytmsn wrote: Sat Jun 23, 2018 4:18 pmA7 mine is an '01 and it has a platform?AsLan7 wrote: Fri Jun 22, 2018 10:42 pm.

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!

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
