Settled on 59 and got the deal done!
Taking it in for a full mechanical inspection this week, but don’t expect us to find any issues.
Can’t wait to get out this summer. First order of business is lights and stereo upgrades!
.
Enjoy Minisoda!!! Lookin' forward to your pics on the water with the new baby.

Sweet! The 242 is such a great layout and a versatile boat, esp with a big block

He did! I only spoke to him over the phone, but Larry was an absolute pro. Since he couldn’t get her out for a sea trial, I’m still planning a detailed inspection at a local marina.
Really appreciate the referral, thank you!

Congrats on the purchase.
I am also looking at a 2010 242. It isn't online to share with the larger group. This will be my 1st cobalt. I have owned another smaller boat for the past 3 years and I feel that my fam and I could make great use of this boat. It has the larger 8.1L and premium sound and appears very clean. My question is about a trailer. (We are in the PNW and many people leave their boats in the water.) I have a heated shop that I would keep the Cobalt in when it isn't being used.
This cobalt doesn't have a trailer and I was sent some "options" mainly using the trailer from a R5. Do you guys have a place in the PNW that you suggest I call to find a trailer?
Thanks again.

Hey maximumjeep, welcome to the Cobaltchat forum. So glad you found us!
Sounds like you got your eye on a nicely equipped Cobalt. Hopefully it works out for ya’.
What model boat had you owned?
Feel free to start a new thread if you have the time. We’d love to see pics.
Again, welcome aboard mate!

You're not alone. There are a yuge number of black boat owners on this site who wish their boat was blue. Sad, but true. We're a very coveted group of owners.

Thanks. we are close to a deal on this one. They offered to get me an R5 trailer vs I have an option elsewhere for an aluminum trailer. I will not be in any Salt and this will sit indoors when not in use so I am still contemplating the trailer. I'll let you know and post pics once I figure it out.

I have a 232 - which is the same hull as your 242. I would go for a Cobalt branded R5 trailer over a generic aluminum trailer every time.
I actually have a trailer for my 232 that is a Cobalt branded trailer made by Rolco that was originally for a Cobalt A25. Works great.
