We actually bought the boat in 2017 but i'm a little late in joining the forum. Had a Crownline 225BR for 20 years prior to this but have always wanted a Cobalt. It has the Volvo 320 with about 200 hrs. We store it in the Port of Kimberling dry dock on Table Rock. My parents live on TR so we spend many weekends there. We love the boat and put nearly 80 hrs on it last summer alone.

Hello from another Wichita Cobalter. That's a beautiful boat, and a great lake to base her on. We made our first trip to TRL for the Regatta in July and loved it.

Thank you! We love TR and hope to make it our permanent home someday! Went to the Regatta with some other Cobalt friends and had a great time. Saw a lot of beautiful boats!

Howdy welcome Stucker2018 from Texas.

Welcome from Oklahoma! I think I saw you on TRL last summer!

And good to see you still get on here occasionally surf! You should come around more. I follow your posts on FB

Hey welcome aboard! I’m also a fellow Table Rocker. I keep my boat at the harbor on Indian point. One of my buddies has a place in Kimberling just past the bridge going towards joe bald. So I’m in that area a lot.

Maybe we’ll see each other next season!

Great colors!
So glad you found us stucker2018.
80 hours a year....that’s some serious boating time, stucker2018.

....and welcome aboard mate!

That's a sweet sucker 18!!!

Welcome! My wife and I live in the SF Bay Area (where I grew up) but she is from Wichita originally and her father still lives there. Her family has been going to Holiday Island on TRL for the last 38 years and I've been joining them for the last 25 (I married up!). We still go out every year at the end of July or the beginning August.

My plan is to tow my A25 out to Table Rock this summer for our annual 2 weeks on the lake. It's a great opportunity to have a road trip adventure with my older son and, well, I want the boat out there with us. We will see!

I drove from San Jose to Rogers in late August to buy the boat and tow it home. ~3500 miles in 5 days!

Will keep you posted.

Mdad you must have a sweet tow rig! Have to post a pic on the tow rig thread!
Keep me posted. We just met up with some other chatters here is KC and it was a hoot meeting them.

I did post in that thread somewhere, IIRC.

I tow with a Mercedes GL350 Bluetec (diesel). It's a shockingly good tow vehicle. It tows my 26' race trailer, too.

Thanks for all the comments. Yes, we enjoy going out on day trips to each end of the lake so we tend to put a lot of hours on the boat. We don't usually average 80 hrs/yr but spent alot of time at the lake last summer. Also, it was our first summer with the boat so hey, we're going to use it! We made several trips down the Kings River leg past Viola last summer and usually tried to include a stop at the restaurant at the marina (Carmelina's ??).

We drive by Neodesha, Ks on our way to from Wichita to TR and have always wanted to go to the factory for a tour. Unfortunately last week did not work with our schedule so maybe someday!
