Funny you should say that! I bought a set of the factory lights and plan on installing them soon! I am looking to find someone with an A28 or an A25 that can give me spacing measurements to help me out. Kinda freaked out about cutting the holes and just want to be sure they are in the right spot.

8.2L. Hoping to get time to swap out the impeller this week so I can fire her up and take it out on the maiden voyage!

Great to hear. It’s a Cobalt signature. They should come standard IMHO.

I like that 25SC!! Just finished cleaning the interior, compounded and polished outside. Just needs wax, and an impeller. Hopefully I can see if she floats this weekend!!
