New member in Oklahoma (Lake Texoma), 2008 272

Post by okielaker »

Recently purchased my first Cobalt, a 2008 272. It has the 8.1L 375hp Volvo.
It is in winter storage, so I don't have a lot of pics... here's one taken while
pulling it back to Oklahoma. Will have it on Lake Texoma, mostly.

Again welcome from Wisconsin. Congrats on the boat. I like the black boot stripe 👍😃
It sure gives that red some class!

Welcome from St. Louis! Love the red and can’t wait to see some more pics of her in the spring. Any plans for upgrades?

Welcome from a fellow Okie! We're on Tenkiller.

Your 272 has the same hull as a 262. In '08 they changed the cap and interior. You'll find that hull to be fast and well handling for its size. It will handle Texoma really good. Do you have a place there?

There are lots of good folks and good information here to help you spend a little.. Glad you found us and we hope you stick around. I need another Okie to bounce off of!

You need to make plans on coming with us on the factory tour on the 14th. Think you can make it?

As the wife said - awesome looking boat - Cobalt Red looks great when its clean waxed and polished. Invest in some hot sauce, it takes water spots right off.

When is the truck upgrade ;) ;)
