Here are some further clarifications to the excellent questions you raised...

The lift is rated as 15K lbs and dock is about 30' long.

I would be boating at a fairly large lake in midwest. Gets rough on busy weekends.

Both boats have the swim platform and wakeboard tower. 232 has wakeboard attachments on the tower but 262 does not.

I am not set on these boats necessarily but they are probably the better of the two from all the ones I looked online in terms of location/price/age/specs etc.

Thanks again.

I am in no hurry... just will keep looking/gathering feedback and educate myself more. will pull the trigger when everything lines up...

There is 2013 R5 with 380hp Volvo. 335 hours. What do you guys think of this? Is anyone familiar with this seller? Details: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/it ... 6751823984

and this is the 262 I mentioned before: https://www.arrowheadok.com/default.asp ... dInventory

The one huge benefit of the 262 is it is located at my local lake where my house is...

anyways.. chugging along..

The seller is Singleton Marine in Buford GA -- near Lake Lanier - they are a Cobalt dealer. He must be one of the salesmen there, lot's of boats listed on his facebook marketplace .

I've interacted with Singleton and it wasn't a great experience.....to be fair, I didn't buy my boat there. I 've never felt so much pressure and down talking of my own Cobalt while I was in the showroom--telling me how I'd soon learn to hate my R3 and I'd need bigger and the service department was terrible. They tried to mark up an EZ fold bimini exactly double what the new build cost was on Cobalt's website. It made a lasting impression.

I will not buy from any dealer if I don't like how they do business. Cars, boats, almost anything.
I'm getting ready to spend big bucks (relative term) and I don't want any added pressure. No "make me an offer I can take to my boss" stuff.
I learned from my Dad when I was 16 buying my first car, a 1966 Mustang. I was ready to pay $1,250 but he made me go home. They had our phone number. Three calls to the house on the same day, $1,150, then $1,050, and then we paid $950. Lesson I'll never forget.

Getting back to the thread, if it's not to personal, what was the cost? I like to know things.

If I remember they wanted 7200 plus installation. It’s 3400 option on the website. All I needed was 1500 worth of conversion parts they wouldn’t sell me

Wow…disgusting. Call all the dealers. Someone will sell u the conversion parts and drip ship them. Maybe your original dealer will do it
