I like. Seems a bit on the high side. The dealers will deal though. I like the separate shifters.Tuscany wrote: Sat Aug 26, 2017 8:42 pm http://www.boattrader.com/listing/2002- ... -103093905
That is a bad ass model.

Re: Looking for a 262
Not sure about this quote:
"This is a timeless package that you will be proud to own."
Fiberglass arch dates these boats. Plus spider cracking can be an issue and you can't tow from it.
No extended swim platform either.
It has the aft center walk thru cushions though!

Re: Looking for a 262
It may date them, but I dig it and WANt! Cobalt says they didn't offer this option until '02 I think? You see them on '00 '01's, but Cobalt didn't reinforce the gunwales until '02.
The only thing I pull in the boat anymore is the tab on top of a beer can, and occasionally my shorts back up if I think about it..

Well Roger that then, YTMSN.

Happy hunting.

Incase you haven't seen this
Ahhhh....the years (after 2007) when Cobalt took seating away changing the 262 from aft center walk thru entry to aft side walk thru entry and took away the front bow seats with storage lockers....

Re: Looking for a 262
I like the center walk through, however without fail the first spot the ladies head is the sun lounger on back. Hardly ever used as seating.

That was the beauty of the AFT center walk thru with transom cushions. You could have seating as well as the sun-pad cushion for a massive sun platform.

Re: Looking for a 262
Unless we have a bunch of people in we don't use the filler cushions. The wife goes in the bow quite a bit and talks up there with the kids. The bow filler makes a nice platform up there.Driller wrote: Mon Aug 28, 2017 8:19 pm I like the center walk through, however without fail the first spot the ladies head is the sun lounger on back.

12-15 folks on our boat...never used the front cushion. However those rear ones were priceless.Big Block Power wrote: Mon Aug 28, 2017 8:29 pmUnless we have a bunch of people in we don't use the filler cushions.

Re: Looking for a 262
That's alot of people. Our bow filler never comes out. The walk through doesn't go in very often. We're in the water or in and out of the boat to much. Not too much sun bathing going on. Heck it's only 60 degrees most of the time.lol we only put it in if we need more seating while under way. I have less seating then a 262'AsLan7 wrote: Mon Aug 28, 2017 8:31 pm12-15 folks on our boat...never used the front cushion.

I have less seating then a 262'
262 being yacht certified was another reason we love it. We boat with quite a few folks and did not want the capacity plate restriction.
