Cobalt Family
I have been using this site a lot lately and realized I never formally introduced my self and my boat. I recently purchased my first Cobalt a few months ago and can honestly say its the nicest boat I have ever had. I have recently been a Chaparral owner with my last boat being a Sunesta 233. I have always dreamed of having a Cobalt but never really looked hard for one. While visiting my boat mechanic this spring he showed me a 2002 Cobalt 262 which had a brand new crate motor (8.1) and after seeing it I bought it on the spot. After several trips to the lake there is no doubt why everyone loves these boats so much. So I am now a Cobalt fan for life and want to thank everyone who has been so helpful on this forum. Hopefully I can return the favor!
Kind Regards,
Southbound

Welcome from Oklahoma and a fellow 262 owner!

Great to have you here, and welcome from California!
I’d like to see more pics of the swim platform as those aftermarket one from swimplatforms.com seem to be nice!

Hello from the Denton area. That white is so classy. I'm also new to the forum and I've been learning a lot. I was looking at two 262's - a straight 262 and a WSS. Both sold before I could fire off any questions or view them in person. That was the only other model that I would consider besides the R5. It sounds like you are happy so far, so I will be watching for more on how it does in the near future.
