Back in Business
Hey Guys,
After nearly 2 season without a boat, we finally got back into the Cobalt game.
Pretty excited about this one. ‘99 232 with a 454 mag, Bravo 1.
Have a couple questions as we will be making some changes.
Does anyone have a video of installing a swim platform from swimplatforms.com? Also, looking to change up the prop. I have a 4 blade 19P and 3 blade 23P. Seems some guys really like the Rev4 21P?

Welcome back to the game TS91!
Thanks for the pics too. Shining like a clean baby’s bottom.
Other than the prop and swim platform change up what else are you planning. Captain’s Call?

Why can I still hear the PO crying that he gave it away!
The police are at your door for stealing!
Welcome buddy! 21p rev4 might be too much. Hard to say. T5billion had one on his 252 502. Call Brett at bblades

That boat looks new - nice work, tsouthard! BBP knows his propellers better than I do - his advice is sound,

I'm in the queue for my swimplatforms.com deck for my 272. If you get your order in quick enough we could have a swimdeck installation party - I'm down in Fayetteville!

Re: Back in Business
The issue is. You already have a 4 blade 19p.what kind is it and diameter and what wot rpm are you getting? The rev4 is a big bad boy. So going up in pitch may not work so good. Unless you're already at at redline. Which I'm sure you're not. Nice lining boat. The good thing about bblades. Is if it doesn't work send it back and get another.

Re: Back in Business
Thanks all!
BBP, formal sea trial is happening tomorrow. So I will post the results. Boat was in UT before I got it, so it was built for elevation. Makes the think the 19P is to low.
Guess we will find out tomorrow!
