Greetings all and thanks for all the info on this forum. Lifetime boater but I just got my first Cobalt a few weeks ago. We are on the Lake of The Ozarks every weekend and the 23’ Larson just wasn’t cutting it. We got an immaculate 2004 282 and couldn’t be happier. Looking forward to gaining more knowledge on this wonderful boat. New Soundsystem is going in this week so we’ll have Bluetooth this weekend.

Welcome from just across the river in Wentzville Mo. I’m a Table Rocker myself but have spent plenty of weekends on LOTO. Now we just need some pics of that 282!

Where do you live in IL? I live in O'Fallon IL. If you boat LOTO I'm guessing it has to be somewhere close to me?

I’m in Carthage Illinois during the week, about 200 miles from my boat! It’s the single 8.1 but after my time with the 5.7 in the Larson it feels great! The low end is really impressive. We have put 25 hours on it already and we are so impressed with the quality throughout. The new stereo is getting put in tomorrow so I’m looking forward to the weekend.
