Hello from Vermont, 2005, 255

Post by Auburnbuilder »

Purchased this boat 4 months ago, been tweeking it ever since. Always fresh water, 375 hours.
I know most have bow riders, but I really like the cuddy cabins.
Boat has a 496mag ho with captains call.

Thanks!
I may be selling the trailer, it has new tires, electric over hydraulic brakes and is in very nice condition.
Should fit the 250's as well. Any idea about how much I should ask?

Hey AB. Welcome to the Cobaltchat forum. So glad you found us!

That’s a really clean boat. Great pics and love that engine...especially with the thru hull exhaust singing around the lake.

And I can relate to your closed bow affinity. :D

How do you plan on using her?

Again welcome aboard mate!

We boat on Lake Champlain, cruise for a while then anchor for a while. The lake is super nice.
I always trailer, hate to leave the boat in the water and sun when not using it.
Only takes me about 15 minutes from our house to be in the water. It is the reason we live here!
Just ordered a new Westland Sunbrella cover, they fit very well.

Put it in the water for the first time tonight, about 70 degrees outside 50 degree water temperature.
Boat performed very well, crazy good power. Top speed by GPS was 63 mph, dead calm lake.
Mercury 24 pitch 3 blade duo props. Put new bunks on the trailer also.

If it fits my R3 I may be interested in upgrading from my venture? Message me and we can discuss pricing
