Welcome! You will love this forum and there is a wealth of knowledge here. Post some pics when you get a chance. BTW, I spent 20 years in NorCal before moving back to MN almost 2 years ago.

Hey Nhi. Welcome to the Cobaltchat forum. So glad you found us!

Thanks for the intro thread. Very cool you’re able to enjoy a Sea Ray and fixer upper Cobalt. The folks on this forum will be able to help you for sure.

For a twin 350 repower I’d lean toward the MPI Mag motors. Lots of bang for the buck and reliable. Bbp here will find you two somewhere on the information highway. Lots of options really. I’m a big fan of EFI (or even TBI) over straight carb inducted engines. Thoughts on twin big blocks? :D

Folks will chime in shortly.

Again welcome aboard mate!

Nhi, welcome. I live in the South Bay (Los Gatos / Monte Sereno).

Where are you planning to boat?

Hi Hainhi,

Monte Sereno is our main house, near San Jose. The vacation house up above Sonora is where the boating and skiing happens.

Don Pedro is in sad shape at the moment, water-level wise!
