That's incredible!
Did you paint the side of the hull or is that factory gel?
Love the water? Fresh or salt? What is the name of the lake or sea?

Love the color on that - it looks really sharp!

The 240 is still one of the best overall designs Cobalt has ever made, and it's starting to look like it will forever represent a "sweet spot" in Cobalt's history. And by the way, your English is great - as good as many other forum members, and certainly better than any of our French!

It is a lake in France, Lake Annecy, it is fresh water and not just any fresh water! The purest in Europe 😇

Thanks for photos.
Not that I'd want to, but the film could be removed and the blue is still there?
Any link to how it's done for those that me need something like that?
Loved the "two loves".

Hello, yes absolutely, besides before putting the film we polished and cleaned the blue gelcoat, in this way, if one day I want to remove the film, I find my original color intact🙂
A few more pictures of an evening this weekend on our lake french!
Ciao

Hi all! Here are some pictures from the 2024 season! I have a quick question, have you ever measured the vertical weight at the tongue of your trailer. I measured and I have 112 kg (246 lbs), in your opinion is it good or is it too much? Have a good weekend!

Trailer tongue weight should be 10 to 15 percent of the total weight of your loaded trailer. That boat is around 4500 lbs dry so you should have a minimum of 450 lbs or more on the ball. Looks like you need to move the trailer axles back to achieve the correct tongue weight.
FYI, that's a lot of boat for that little vehicle.

Thank you very much for your response, yes in the photo it was simply to go from the technical area to the water launch otherwise I towed with a Mercedes GLE 350d or a truck.
