I love the looks of it but no way would I want the lines of the B on the other section. That will drive you nuts!!
If anything it will drive me nuts.

Re: 1999 Cobalt 232 restoration
Some goodies showed up from MarineMat today. Going to let them flatten out for 24 hours and let you guys know how it goesjin the next few days. So far, the quality seems better than the SeaDwk in our last boat. I'll post details and full thoughts in a few days.

Not sure. They did charge a small fee for the logo. Maybe they have a licensing deal with the manufacturer?Big Block Power wrote: Fri Feb 28, 2020 1:06 pmI'm supprised marine Mat put a name on it.

They did make it for the factory. I think they still do. I tried to get mine done through them and the factory would not give them the ok to do it. Yes they all charge eves for it.baktasht wrote: Fri Feb 28, 2020 1:08 pmNot sure. They did charge a small fee for the logo.

I went with Toffee over Black. Two layers of black and a top layer of toffee. Each layer being 3mm (total 9mm thickness). And went with the brushed finish.Big Block Power wrote: Fri Feb 28, 2020 6:57 pm Can't wait to see it on. What color did you go with.
Hopefully I'll have some time next weekend. Will keep you guys posted.

Looks awesome!! I wasn’t going to do my platform, but I might have to make a template after seeing yours. Love that you did the anchor locker and the built-in coolers too.

I also got a chance today to finally swap out the old dented 28P prop set for a good balance checked 26P set. Checked the thrust bearings, cleaned up all the parts, and put in some fresh Quicksilver/Mercruiser grease.

Re: 1999 Cobalt 232 restoration
Definitely worth doing the platform. I love how it turned out. And I'm glad I went with the 3 layer / 9mm MarineMat material. Once I got it installed it is noticably more "cushion-y" than my old 6mm Seadekshrfdeputy wrote: Wed Mar 11, 2020 8:47 pm Looks awesome!!

Re: 1999 Cobalt 232 restoration
I’ll have to make a template because I have cup holders, cleats and easy-up handles in my platform, but that looks way better than I imagined it would.baktasht wrote: Wed Mar 11, 2020 8:52 pmDefinitely worth doing the platform.
