Another Texas Boat
Posted: Tue May 01, 2018 9:44 am
Another Texas boy. Thought I'd make my first post while the spam gets cleaned up. This is my first Cobalt, or boat for that matter, and I think I found the perfect starter boat for me. I haven't seen many (any) 206 owners on here, but I'm sure they are here. It has the 5.0 Gi which is perfect for my family of 4, but as my kids grow I'm going to need something bigger.
It's a 2001, but was owned by a pilot prior to me who took immaculate care of it. I've had it since January of '17 and have already bent up 2 props that were repaired. one was completely my fault by trimming down too early because I was used to deeper ramps and the other is still a mystery. Limped though the last half of the season with a starter that would freeze, but a hammer made short work of that problem for a while unitl I replaced it this off season.
I live closest to Travis, but drag it around to 3 other lakes in the area as well. That's one of the main reasons I opted for the smaller boat.
First picture, I hope, is my family on Lake LBJ last season.
Second is from this Saturday after a fresh coat of wax. Ready for the season.
