Hello, purchased my 273 last fall. My first boat, but I grew up with a Tahiti. Hope it will bring great memories for my kids. Look forward to Cobalt chat.

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

What a great pic on the water. Where do you boat? That looks like it could be a great lake shot. I take it you do some water sports with the arch and mirror options.

How about a tow vehicle shot. I'm curious what you got up to the task to pull that beast.

Again, welcome aboard mate!

Thanks guys. I pull it with the new Ford F-250 7.3L. Boating in California. I’ve only had a few issues so far like pins for the Bimini needing replacement. I’m really taking care of her. I replaced all the bad o-rings and anything small that was either missing or cracking. Love the space and the ride. I haven’t attempted to ski/wakeboard as of yet but will this summer. Maybe pull the kids on a tube. Still thinking of a name. “DON’T WAKE ME,” seems to fit.

Nice DWM!

I like the name...or “don’t wake me bro” 😂

Thanks. Yah I definitely feel like I’m dreaming when I take her out. If anyone has any other name options I’m definitely open to it! Thanks.

Welcome. Really nice looking boat and tow rig. How is she powered? We need engine pics pronto. Enjoy your new toy.

Man for some reason I saw it had a 8.2 merc in her. I just can't remember where I saw that 🤔

Thanks! Here are a few more pics from last summer. I can’t wait to unwrap her and put her back in. Boating fever is real.

Dam that engine looks good. What do you have for lights?

Thanks. I have OCD like crazy, try to keep everything squeaky clean. I’m not sure on the lights, as far as brand, but they’re LED for sure. Here’s a picture.

I scrolled through the thread a couple of times before I found the relevance of his sarcasm. Duh! Definitely an HUA moment.
