New Member on Beaver Lake Arkansas

Post by lastbuck »

We bought our first Cobalt in ‘96, a 23LS Deck Boat with DuoProp. It was great boat for our family. After 10 years, the kids wanted a tower and more power, so I traded for a MC. Again, a great boat for many years.

I just sold the MC, and the next day picked up a new-to-me 2011 Cobalt 230. My wife loves it, and we can’t wait to get it wet in a little warmer weather.

This sight is great. Learning a lot. Hope to contribute, too.

Welcome from further on down the chain of lakes! I’m on Table Rock close to the Branson area.

Now let’s see some pics! And you should tow on up to Table Rock this summer for the Cobalt Regatta.

Formal welcome!
Mastercraft to Cobalt hmmmmmm.
Let me guess your passengers don’t miss sitting backwards or staring at you the whole time underway?

I’m glad you made it back. Now you have 24 hrs to figure out how and to load some pics... or we might load some😎.

Congratulations again.

Ok. I see you guys really like pictures. The Cobalt is in a storage unit which makes it impossible to get anything but a bow shot. I’m going to get it out of storage in a few weeks, and first thing I do will be pictures. Stand by.

So that’s the bow shot he promised eh? I like it although one paddle is all that’s really required right? Maybe he’s showing off?
