Longtime/Firstime

Post by 252Capn »

Good morning fellow Cobalt owners!

Lifelong boater. Cobalt 252 owner since '07. This is our 2nd...had to let our 1st one go in the crash of '08. Still miss her!
Currently have an '07 252, 8.1 Gi-H Penta, 346hrs
Looked a lot at the new Cobalt offerings, but just can't part with our 252

Got tired of dragging our boat to far away lakes, so we moved to a far away lake! We relocated to Beaver Lake, AR to spend more time with my folks and our boat!

Found a lot of good Cobalt info on this site over the last few years and finally took the time to join. Looking forward to connecting with more Cobalt owners!

Hey 252Capn..welcome to the Cobaltchat forum. So glad you found us!

Great pics and it’s awesome to have a multiple Cobalt owner on the forum.

Welcome - both nice rides. Which one do you own now? I'm assuming the Wht/Blu since it has the AR registration.

Hey Bill,

I grew up in Palisade. Been gone for quite awhile now. I'll bet we know some people in common. That pic was taken at my brother in law's place before her first powel trip.

Cheers!

My wife and I water ski. Well, mostly my wife does. We air up the tube every now and then when some youngsters visit and I get to have fun trying to throw them off!

Cheers, longtime.
Glad you joined.
You’re right, lots of experienced boaters here - and we can learn from a lot from a 2 time cobalt owner. Love the crisp look of the white/blue.
