Welcome from Texas DJ. That a really nice boat. I love the dark color with the white stripe, wakeboard tower, and the bimini. Glad to have you onboard.

Sweet ride. Welcome to the black club :-)
At least it isn't raining on your parade:-)

More pictures. 380hp :-)
I'm assuming you have kids that like watersports is why you got a tower.

Kid is grown, just love the look of the tower and Bimini versus the pole mount setup Bimini. Plus it was already setup this way and price was right! LOL. Added some blue LEDs to the interior last night and installing the quick connect fenders this afternoon. SeaDek for the swim platforms on order. Just myself, the wife and the dog. We were tired of the beating we would take with the old boat on choppy days. 100% better ride now! Momma is happy so all is right with the world now!

I really like the new layout. It uses the space a lot more efficiently than my 2011 242.

Welcome from Ky. We have same layout & love it. Our only complaint is we miss the side storage from our last boat particularly if we have guests aboard. But we love the side walk thru and the adjustable passenger side seat. good luck.

Very nice DJ!
I saw taco marine makes the phender clips also. What brand did you use. Pictures of course. I'm debating yet if I should add some.
Did I miss what engine package?
Skiingstrongman has great pictures of his dog on board as well. He used doggie botties though. Helps protect your interior.
Yea I like the looks better with the tower as well. But my binimi is very small with mine. Poor coverage the wife likes the sun so it's not deployed much.

Really nice looking boat you have! :) I have a 220 as well and am interested in the SeaDek, do they have a template for it or did you trace one out?

That boat is dope! Back boats matter. Driller, surely you should have known.

And welcome from Oklahoma!

Not sure who makes the clips. Dealer is putting on. They are much cheaper without the Cobalt logo on it though!
Engine is the V6 240hp. Was shocked by the hole shot and torque. Very pleased so far!
