Suggestions for Cockpit Table for Cobalt 220

[Homeskillet]

Yep! Had Geneva Upholstery do the back top cushions (they raised their prices literally about 2 weeks after doing ours l!). The rest of the Upholstery is in very good shape. Thanks for the comps on the colors. I think that navy blue (or is that black?) on yours looks very sharp...classy!

I like your rims better though lol!

I'll bet your boat just flies with that 8.1 in there! You have Captains Call?

[Big Block Power]

No captains call and don't tell the nauti's. The 8.1 works well. Wish it was faster. They did some seats for me on another 220 I had. Did they still have the snake skin viynl. Did you have them use the factory viynl. We had a few issues with them and they quit returning my calls and emails. They did nice work though. I think they wanted like 750 bucks for the sun deck a few years ago. Yes mine is black. 60 is pretty much the best my boat has done with these props and the factory ones. Hole shot and midrange are very nice. It doesn't matter how many people are in the boat it always performs the same. Very happy with the boat. BBlades do your props or someone local.

You must be close to me. We bought our from Reeds, but Gordy’s sent us there because they knew Reed’s had the boat I was looking for. We live on the Fox Chain, but I plan to spend some time on Lake Geneva this summer.

I had Geneva Upholstery use their fabric. Everyone I spoke to said it would wear better. I think the sundeck cost me $630.

I don't know how fast mine is yet. I'm close to Como and will run it there some am when I don't have to worry about that rogue wave lol. I am guessing I'll be mid to high 50's - maybe more with the customized props. My last boat ran 66 and that was fast enough for me probably was faster but I ran out of room on Como. I have DAH Propellers in Burlinton (it's actually a tiny town called Rochester) do my props. There's a pretty good guy in Brainard too. I've just always liked John at DAH, and it's a short drive for me. He's handed me thousand dollar props and said, "Take it and try it for a few days!" He won't sell you something you don't absolutely love.

I've never asked him for "just more speed" when he's worked a prop for me (but he will certainly do that - it would just cost you some low end grunt). However, holeshot is always WAY better with mine anyway, midrange punch is almost indescribably better, and top end is usually 5-7 mph better depending on how well I was propped to begin with (if you have the wrong prop, either brand or pitch you'll get even bigger gains). At least that's always been my experience. My last few props, because I haven't been looking for speed so much, I've been able to stay on plane at about 16-17 mph...and that was always a plus on a Geneva wknd.

Prop work isn't for everyone... but it is for me lol. I honestly think everything (imo) is smoother, quicker, faster and better.

Yea a 5.7 in the 220 runs 54,55 I start hitting the wall at 57. It's just not a fast hull. I agree the props make every difference in the world. I don't think the b3 props are very efficient. My b3 on my 200 was terrible. I think it was over propped from the start. The boat was a bit too small for us so I just went up to the 220.

[Homeskillet]

When I dropped my props off I told John what boat, motor and drive I was running and asked if I should be running different props. He said the 26 pitch b3's were the correct props for my boat, they just needed to be customized for better performance. I will know more in May that's for sure.

Has anyone tried this mount?

[Homeskillet]

That's an interesting looking set up.

[akorcovelos]

I like that, I wonder if you can get longer extrusions to mount horizontally so you could slide the table back and forth as needed?

In the Q&A someone ask a question about horizontally mounting it. Didn't read it, but you might check if you're interested.

I only saw a question on using it in multiple locations, i.e. buying more than one bracket, which I guess is an option if you have two specific locations you want it versus being able to adjust it along a rail horizontally.

I saw the question somewhere on one of the multiple sites I looked up, but I can't find it. My guess it that you can't because the pin the horizontal members locks with is vertical. If it was horizontal then the table would be at 90 deg. instead of flat. Might not work too well.

Bummer, be nice to be able to slide the table back and fourth as needed.

The table will swivel a lot. Check it out here:
