New member in Lakeway, TX, first Cobalt 2001 262

Post by philmitchelltx »

Hey everyone- always wanted a Cobalt! We've owned many boats over the years but finally decided to take on a Cobalt project that needs some major TLC. Happy to join the forum!! Looking forward to being a part of the group. No pictures yet but will post some soon. Any advise for a newbie with complete interior restoration in front of them would be appreciated!

Thanks-Phil

Yeeeeeeeeeeehawwww!
Another 260 series Cobalt owner!

Do you know any furniture reupholsterer’s? Call your nearest Cobalt dealer and provide them with your hull ID number to see if you can still buy the material.

A member here had a Cobalt 263 (cuddy version) parts boat in Rochester NY that may be useful to you. Send JRCramer a PM if interested in obtaining some parts.

So glad you found us. And welcome aboard my friend. Can’t wait for pictures!

Welcome Phil. I’m just up the road from you a few miles @ Vineyard Bay. Glad to have you onboard. I’m assuming you boat on Travis?
