Looks like I just became the owner of a 2004 Cobalt 200.
Been perusing this site for a while, lots of great info.

Hey Dizel8, so glad you found us. Thanks for posting a pic of your new baby.

Any engine pics?

You will make so many great memories on her with your friends and family. How and where will you be using her? LOTO?

Roller bunk trailers can sometimes leave impressions into the gel coat if stored for a long time on them. Be careful with that. The support of bunk trailers distribute the weight a little more evenly. Although, even a bunk trailer can leave a "hook" impression near the transom if the end of the boat hangs off of it.

Enjoy your new (to you) ride.

....and welcome aboard mate!

Nice looking boat and it looks like it matches your Jeep.

Don't feel bad bfun pulls his 220 with his wrangler.
So you live in IL but did you buy the boat in NH? Was it a salty? On CL? Boat looks familiar.
By the way welcome. That's a great boat. It got me hooked with Cobalt. What power plant and drive. Let's get more pictures darn it.

Yes, it’s from NH. Wasn’t really looking for one there, but my friend had this boat, sold it and then told me it was up for sale. Wanted a slightly bigger Cobalt, but this deal was to good to pass up. Boat was fresh water. Volvo 5.7gi DP.

Needs a little TLC on the gel coat, not a fan of the roller trailer, but pretty darn excited to get it to its new home.

That's a nice set up. That's too clear of a lake to be the chain. Where will you be using her. It handles rough water pretty good.
I'm trying to find my buddy one also.

The picture is from Lake Ossippe,NH. The gent on the boat is a mechanic at the marina there. Really nice gent and got that thing back on the trailer like a Boss. Was impressive to watch.

Boat will be used on Lake Michigan, on the Michigan side around St.Joseph. Look forward to see how it handles the big lake.

I would say that's the perfect size for Lake Michigan

I wouldn't want anything larger for that small of a lake

Nice boat. Welcome to the forum. I purchased my first Cobalt over this past summer. I love it. Cobalts are the Cadillacs of boats. Very well built. Lots of wonderful memories will be made. Enjoy. ...Captain Rob from Texas.

Got her to her new home. Needs a bit of TLC, but pretty darn excited.

And yes, she is going to be stored inside!
