2001 Cobalt 263 w/ Volvo penta needs some tlc
I hate to see the boat go to waste. I am sell a cobalt 263 26ft boat with the Volvo penta 8.1 engine total hours are 199. The boat did have something fall on it and needs the windshield fixed or replaced along with a good cleaning from the boat sitting for a bit. I am going to tray and attach some photos as well. I am not looking to make money on the boat I fact will probably loose some but as long as it can go to a good home. You will need a trailer to pick it up but won’t have any issues loading it on to the trailer. I am located in upstate NY

The boat didn’t sink I know that the original paper work was in the cuddy and it is dry as can be. I think a tree hit it then got damaged threw the boat being moved around. I know the motor is worth over 8k so if I need to I’ll part the thing out if I get enough people that need parts.

Roger that, jrcramer1
Btw, I see this 263 sold on 27 February for $15,600 to k***m who has a 100% feedback rating.
Curious why it's back up for sale?

Guy didn’t realize it didn’t have a trailer. So he has no way to transport it.

Yea I but a second chance offer to the person and put the offer for 3 days but I haven’t heard from them. The guy also was up in the air if he wanted a 262 or the 263 that I was selling. This was prior to the end of the auction when I spoke with them.
