New to the Chat board. I am on my 2nd Cobalt, first was a 1995 252, great boat but wasn't a fan of the Volvo sterndrive for that generation. Currently have a 2006 262 and love the boat. I bought the 262 out of LOTO last spring and brought her home to Michigan. Photos are both taken in Lake Michigan near Onekama.

Welcome from California! Nice pics and great 262.! I see you went sleek with no Bimini next to your buddy’s outerlimits stilleto .
Your 262 is more comfortable!
So what’s her power.. 496ho?

Welcome. I think Samuri liked at that boat last year. Did it have a fresh tune up. When he drove it they left a plug wire off of it. It didn't perform so well.
Congrats on the new to you boat. Classic colors.
Nice fishing boat in the group too.

Welcome from the east side. We love the ride and performance of the 262/263. We spent last Labor Day around Ludington. Great inland lakes and my first time boating on Lake Michigan. Great area.

Re: Nate From Grand Haven, MI
Thanks my buddy’s boat is an Active Thunder, he has a Bimini for it and uses it regularly. I give him a ton of crap about his 85mph Sunday cruisercmattj wrote: Mon Aug 12, 2019 11:54 pm Welcome from California! Nice pics and great 262.!
