"Dear (aka)TechieTechie ,
Thank you for your e-mail. That is an excellent question. I have been here at the factory for over 35 years and spent 15 of it building the
boats. We actually did not start using fiberglass stringers until the 252 came out in 1994. The composite liner floor came out at that time, but only on the 252. Every new model after that had the liner floor and fiberglass stringers with the exception of the 190 that came out in 1996.
In 1997, we began to install a composite foam transom on our boats, replacing the wood transom.
I'm a little confused on the composite liner statement. I own a 1994 272 and it has a composite floor. Makes me wonder about the stringers....
Use of wood in Cobalt construction?

Hey mtb. So glad you found us!
I read that as the 252 has the fiberglass stringers and yours probably does too.
Any pics?
And welcome aboard mate!

Re: Use of wood in Cobalt construction?
Sorry for the huge delay. Life.. it's him across this again when trying to determine if I can put it through hole transducer and my 272. Called Cobalt and they didn't say no but they said be careful doing it. So it really didn't tell me much of anything.
