Post by Start_Driver »

Hi everybody!

My name is Peer and I live in southern Germany!

Working for Mercedes-AMG, I also was looking for a High-Class boat with a nice engine in it.
=> Therfore bought a Cobalt 263 with a VP 8,1Gi
(Named it "Mytoy II" )
I own this boat now for 2 years and am quite happy with it! :D

The boat normal is stationed on the Rhine river (one of the few rivers in Germany with no Speed Limit :mrgreen: )
but I also like to go to lake Garda in Italy in early summer and to Croatia in summertime.

Looking Forward to many nice chats in this Forum, and also many helpful hints in case I need some advice :D

Hey Peer, BEAUTIFUL Cobalt my friend! :mrgreen:

So glad you found us from across the pond. Great picture too....on an unlimited speed waterway no less.

Also an AMG fan too. You’re hitting all my metrics brutha.
Welcome aboard mate!

Welcome from Oklahoma! And welcome to the 260 series. Looking forward to your pics and posts showing the difference in boat culture between the US and Germany.

Welcome from Illinois, awesome pic! So if I start looking at the assembler plaques on AMGs will I see your signature? :)

Can't wait to hear stories about the pacer.

Very cool. Keep them coming. Are Cobalts that common there? Is nice to see them all tied up together.
