Finding that factory extended swim platform option coupled with the factory stainless arch option is even more difficult.
Then finding a fully loaded one on top of that can make them a unicorn.

Took us three years to find ours. 😎

Haha yep. After joining here and seeing all the lovely Cobalts on here I know I am going to be extremely picky on my next one. This being my first I was just beyond excited to get any Cobalt.

This might help.
I couldn't see any brackets mounted to the transom. You could get the stainless custom made of you tally want it.

Great offer, Liquid.
Honestly though, there is really nothing I need off of it.

It would be nice to have a spare ski pylon but someone already "stole" that.

I would consider the round top window hatch on the bow top side as a spare. It is a weak point on the 263's. Too much trouble for you to take that out though. I don't think it's worth it. Not worth the shipping expense either. :?

Can't really think of anything else. Take a couple more pics of anything that looks in great condition....unfortunately, the abuse to this boat will most likely negate that.

Hurts to see her in this condition. :(

Yeah. I agree. I’ll give an honest assessment but from what I see it looks like she’d be better off parted out. I’ll keep my eyes open for good stuff.

You don’t want the filler then I take it?

YT is workong my filler cushion fabrication.

The ones on this 263 are most likely missing or trashed. Definitely purchase them if you see some though.

Someone else may need some, or the site will now have some to use as templates. 👍🏻

Are you talking about the cushions down in the cubby? I have a couple things that are in factory bags and I know one of them is the table but we can double check tomorrow.

Hey on that table can you get a picture of that and what it mounts to. I need a mount now that you said that.
