272 for someone.

[whitelightning]

I do however think this IS the boat for tgrace.

[Holy Smokes]

Clicked the link, saw the price and thought, Really?... that seems kinda high.... then I saw the beautiful blue 525. What a fun rocket this would be!

tgrace, your running out of excuses! It DOES have captain's call exhaust. I spy the actuators in the pics. Exhaust is open out the side corners or switched down through the prop.

A well maintained single 525 in this hull would last a lifetime. They're bullet-proof when you keep up with normal maintenance.

Dammit man....you had to mention that....winter sucks

Table, Yep you are right winter does suck. With all this damn snow makes it even worse.
Your slip mate TGrace is shore having a time trying to figure out what boat he wants!!
He has the new boat' sickness really bad!

He does....I dont know about anyone else but i get the same way. I was in an absolute frenzy of emotions last year hunting mine down. I almost felt cheated because the one I ended up buying wasnt one I "identified". It just fell in my lap by chance of me having a discussion with the dealer about getting into a bigger boat lift. Its an exciting experience.....and a stressful one. Stressful in the sense that I get overly excited and it impacts other facets of my life. You know....forget to pick up the kids from school, ignore your wife while she's talking to you, staring at your phone constantly, trying to pick apart every reason why you think this is the deal for you, wondering how much new boat gear you'll need to purchase, etc.....all that excitement is taxing....lol.

Tgrace...draw this out as long as possible. Keep us entertained

Yep Table and T Grace Entertaining for sure !! I totally understand purchasing a new boat anxiety all the mind F**k games that you put yourself thru trying to make sure you have everything that you want and can afford and have no post ownership regrets when you are spending 100K plus!

Haha I love how every thread has turned into me and my quest for a new boat. You are 100% correct on how it is nerve racking and yet exciting too. I think I have figured out my plan. I just need someone to come and dump some cash on me for Big Red so I can get on to my next one!

On this site any thread can get hijacked! LOL

[whitelightning]

My mother, of all people, said it best.....time to SH.. or get off the pot. LOL

Neither owner or broker are serious about selling it.

Do right by this site and delete this thread.

Major sleeper for sure, but the only time people see my engine is when I'm working on it, lol. As nice as Cobalts are they really aren't the 'look at my engine, hatch up every time I park' kinda boat'.

I agree with lightning, for $12-13k you can have the Whipple stage 1 kit installed and be pushing 600+hp from the 502 Mag, and oddly I am partial to the 252 design.

+1 akro! I never raise my hatch unless its maintenance. Last year a guy asked what motor it had when we all boarded. I told him it was a 4 cylinder International Harvester, flipped the CC on, and hit the key. When it fired he said it was the best sounding 4 banger he ever heard, and it never came up again!

But I have to admit, a blue motor is sexy...


I'll post it here, because I never raise the hatch for anyone to see!

You made my morning YT.

It's all you A7!

[akorcovelos]

That is awesome!

[Ytmsn]

Thanks Akro. Back before you joined us, I mentioned in a thread somewhere that I'd like to have a graphic of fire breathing horses for the top of my motor and A7 sent me this. I had to have it!

[akorcovelos]

Love it! I want to make a "Whipple Tuned 454" decal to put on mine. I'll probably make it when I design the hull numbers and name this weekend.

There is a guy on Ebay called 3dlettering that does a great job. It's where I bought my registration numbers to match my Cobalt letters on the back. It turned out pretty cool.
I also ordered my boat name on the transom from him in the same Cobalt font, but they're domed rubber/plastic with a chrome background. Check him out!

Good looking letters! It’s going to be painful to cover that “red” registration sticker though. I say leave it on and put your new one next to it.
