Not sure what you mean? The interior looks brand new. Engine is spotless. Grand lake. It doesn't get any better.
.
I believe Akor is asking how you were able to see the interior of the Grand Lake boat as there are only exterior shots posted. 🤔

Interior pics are in the invisible boat thread. Come on!

I figured either he was joking or has some Cobalt for sale super power that lets him see more than the ad shows.

You guys must be looking at a Different ad then the one I'm looking at. Funny I'm always funny just ask my family that never listens to me either. Lol
I think it's funny how people advertise there stuff and never show the good stuff. It there is a reason why they don't show the engine or interior. If I was buying it would be the first one I write off as not going to buy and on to the next one.

The link you posted doesn’t have any interior shots. Fix it, I want to see this amazing interior!

In regards original post and subsequent crack issues: Don't walk...RUN!!!! Your salesman isn't do you any favors. For perspective, last year I sold my 1991 Bayliner Capri 2050 (yes...you call can laugh) and purchased my Cobalt. Well..lets say the proceeds helped pay for about 12% of the Cobalt. That little Bayliner had NOTHING compared to what you have presented here today and that was for a 28 year old, entry level boat, used every summer in Arizona. Yes, I took great care of it, but still I had typical spider cracks in typical areas and those only existed in the high stress parts of the boat (corners for examples). And again, Bayliners, particularly of that era, weren't known for quality Gel-coat or construction in general. So, in my humble opinion, you aren't getting the whole picture here and your salesman is not advocating on your behalf. As you well know, Cobalts have a reputation of being some of the finest built, highest quality boats available. They don't just fall apart like this after 20 years under normal wear.

If it were me, I would kindly thank him for his time, and find something else. Be patient, your diamond will be found.

Honestly, I think he just accidentally fat fingered interior instead of exterior. ;)

Busy work today, so didn't call on boats, but asked for deposit back. When the boat is relisted, I'm waiting for it to be posted here lol! It'll be the perfect boat..... except for that long deep crack next to the transom! Still ticked off and bummed as everything was right...... except that crack. But confident on right decision. Im not in a rush.....I have a boat to get me by. Appreciate again the feedback.
