Do you get your supplies from Boat Town? I use them for my normal parts for servicing but not sure you got all the "upgrades" from them? Nice upgrades BTW - really nice. My wife will not like you

Simrek drive show arrived today.
Do you think I should complain about the weld? They missed 20% of it on the upper connection

Re: What upgrades have you done to your boat?
Yes....especially for how much you paid. I bet they send a new one right out and take the other one back...shipping included. It's a great company.ajcampen wrote: Mon Jan 22, 2018 6:37 pm Simrek drive show arrived today.

Welcome to the site my friend.

I'm a huge advocate of Cobalt. I bought a Cobalt 220 in 2014 after going to the San Antonio boat and RV show. I was looking at a few of the series but the 220 was the right size for my wife and I. My wife and I are counting the days when we can enjoy a weekend out on the boat.

Very cool, drolaw. The 220 sounds like the perfect boat for you both. That is a great size....manageable & even spacious... yet stll nice riding.
If you have any spare time, pleeeeease post a pic of your beauty in a new thread. And we are certainly counting the days til summer up here in the northern latitudes.

Re: What upgrades have you done to your boat?
Will do. Strange as it may seem I've had the boat for 4 years and only have 1 photo...Great excuse to drive to the marina and clean the boat then take pics...hmmm, That actually seems like fun with a beer and tunes playing.

To my surprise, he insisted the drive would hold.....sent me an email with lifetime warranty should it break.

Re: What upgrades have you done to your boat?
I guess seeing that it bothers you that much I would ask him for a refund or a replacement. They are normally so good I'm surprised. Just say I talked to guys on the forum he'll change his mind.ajcampen wrote: Thu Jan 25, 2018 5:59 amTo my surprise, he insisted the drive would hold.....sent me an email with lifetime warranty should it break.

Re: What upgrades have you done to your boat?
If he'll offer you a lifetime warranty he should replace it. Tell him to put it in his own boat, you don't want to replace it again.ajcampen wrote: Thu Jan 25, 2018 5:59 amTo my surprise, he insisted the drive would hold.....sent me an email with lifetime warranty should it break.
