Welcome from Oklahoma! Nice boat!
And thanks for the lesson A7. I thought the 260 series was discontinued after 2007 and redesignated the 272 in 08.
From my understanding the 252 became the 262. Because in 2008 they ditched the extended swim platform option and just had the molded platform. And started measuring LOA from bow to swim platform. Instead of the transom.
Yup
Completely different hull starting in 2008.
Huh? Different hull? I thought the 272 was a 262 hull with a different deck?

That’s also correct gents....
I’ll clarify my original comment. The
262 model that ran from 2000-2007 is a completely different hull from the
262 series hull that ran from 2008 to 2015.
Cobalt boats adopted the 2000-2007 262, 22 degree deadrise hull for the 272 which ran from 2008 to 2010.

That makes sense. Thanks for sharing A7! I wondered how long they used the 262 hull.

Yes I think we have! I just read through your welcome post, I looked at that 262 you referenced, it is a sharp boat!

So I understand that there needs to be pics or it didn't happen....So here we are. Pulled the trigger today after the survey and sea trial (At 25 degrees, Dang that was cold!!!) both went off without a hitch. We are beyond excited to be part of the club now!

Hey thanks for the pic CD262. That’s some hard core boating in 25 degree temperatures! You’re my hero.

Great to see it action. Great looking!!
