Ok guys I love a good wake shot. Let's see your wake shots.

Nice wake back there BB!

Here's my nephew driving our now sold Cobalt 262 pulling a couple of tubes in the wake.

...and another enjoying the torque of the Cobalt.

Tube wars. making me nostalgic.

Haha, I think I dragged my kids a thousand miles on one of those three passenger hot dog floats back when they were young. Enjoy them boys!.. I really miss those days.

Bfun220.

Funny you say that Bfun220. As the kids are now getting older, I don't have 12-15 kids on the boat now. It's just too hard to coordinate their school and work schedules. More like 5-8 now. Thus the switch to the 263 Cuddy from our 262 Cuban refugee bow rider with all those kids on it!

Lol.
You'll have to let me know how you like that 263. I looked at a couple of those before I got my 220.

I'm glad you went with the 220

We will Bfun220!

FWIW, we are also HUGE fans of any center walk thru Cobalt such as your & BigBlock's model year 220's. You lose NO cockpit seating with those filler cushions.
Then with the 262 & 263 models, you also lose no wrap around seating which we desperately need with all the kids on our boat. Can't wait to get her on the water to show off her wake!

(excuse the dirt...she needs a good cleaning after being in the shop getting remaining options installed)

The wrap around seating was one of my favorite things about the 263. Biggest thing for me was it wouldn't fit in the garage.

Wrap around is a big reason i targeted the 190.

My oldest got bounced off the tube for the first time a few weeks ago. I was driving. He was PISSED. Crying as I turned around and pulled up to him. I jumped in the water to calm him down. Still pissed. Was going to put him in the boat but he wanted to get back on the tube. Still crying, still pissed. He got back on. He's 5. Proud of him.

and so it begins...

Good for him. When my Max was about 8 did the same thing. It took a year before he got back on. Lol

Oh my God, both of my kids used to get pissed when I knocked them off the float.
PISSED...
After my son who was probably 10 at the time explained to me in threatening terms, (like let him drive and me on the float) I started to be more careful to keep them on the float.
...but it's so selfishly fun to toss them off ...

The little kids I am gentle with. My big boy friends forget it they get the wrath.
