Thanks for the invite ! Been a Cobalt owner for about 20 years now , just purchased my fourth! I'm a Century Boat and Chris Craft owner and member also. Here are the current Cobalt's I own.

Rick

Very cool and welcome let's see the rest of the fleet. Where are you keeping all of these toys hidden?

Hey Rick. Welcome to the CobaltChat forum. So glad you found us!

Great boats you've owned. Thanks for posting pictures too. Keep 'em comin'.

Btw, who took the top photo pic?

Welcome aboard mate!

.

Here are some pictures of my other boats, thanks for the interest! My buddy took that picture of my 293 from his boat, I love my 293 but we find the bow rider is my more practical up at our camp on Lake Winnipesaukee. I've advertised my 293 but when people hear its been in fresh, brackish/salt they kind of freak out. I can understand a fresh water boat is more desirable but theirs nothing wrong with a properly maintained mixed water use boat .thoughts on that?

.
Wow
Great boats Rick.

Never knew Chris Craft splashed the Donzi hull. Does that have the Holman Moody outdrive too?

Thanks for posting those.

Rick,
If you ever want to sell your xk, give me a shot
I have a showroom new speedster. I always wanted to add the original to my collection.

You guys rock!!!
A7 can you rotate that please.
You know we all love that style. It's like they should make those again!!! Like the mustang, camaro and the charger. Throw backs baby we need them.
Matt let's buy Rinker Cheap and let's make the classic

Welcome from California!
Great collection you’ve had as those are just plain “artwork”!
Yes Wynne was famous for those hull designs as early formula to magnum. I loce the Don Aranow era as youll find a lot of us previous Donzi owners here.
Hey Cobalt even splashed a Donzi in a back alley

Let’s splash a Donzi 22ZX, 26ZX and for fun a twin 28ZX with twins.
Now how to make the name Rinker sound as cool as Donzi?!

A7 yes the ZXO is one of my fav. 27zr as well. On your in A7. We need a cargo plane pilot that we can convert. For our top secret meetings.
How about Ronzi
Matt you just can't Make Rinker sound manly.

Nice Chris Craft ! always love seeing this new classics up at Winnie! I was lucky that my dad was a big boat guy growing up , we had Century's Chris Crafts , Rayson Crafts , Sangers , Formulas and Donzi! Grew up in the best of times with the classic Mahogany's and glass! Must say the sound of my 426 Chrysler in my 67 Arabian is hard to beat!

I love those Century boats. I would love to see an inboard runabout without all the focus on wakesports. Something with an 18+ degree dead rise, thru hull exhaust at the waterline at idle and an open bow. I think Malibu came closest to that a few years ago with some of their offerings, but there is nothing out there now. Price could be half what they are asking for their wakesports offerings. I'm all in on remaking Rinker into the Great inboard runabut company.

Here is a '73 Resorter 16 I had a few years back. I loved that boat, but my family didn't.
