Cobalt Boats Forum

Negative. Actually never even received a response on my offer. Boat was then sold 2 days later.
Enjoyed a 220s rental on a trip to Tablerock last week. (1029 hrs and the vp280 was still strong BTW) Maybe in the fall some nice boats will come on the market. Until then, I'll just enjoy cold ones in ...

Wow, looks really nice A33!!
Recommended by BBP on a Wednesday and installed by OP on a Sunday!? Gotta be some kind of record??

Looking at this engine pic-
Frame arrestor is angled down, cable ties on the coolant reservoir, and some tube or cable coming from under the engine cover. Anyone know what's going on here? Seems an odd time to take a picture if some kind of maintenance was ...

Good info, thanks BBP.

Let's cross our fingers!!
Is it the Mag Or HO?

I loce you BBP! It's "just" the Mag :D
Should be plenty of giddy up for us. Has the tower, black over white hull, very nice.


Sounds great. Any 496 is good. What year is she?!loce the color!. Is it a private seller? How long does it take to ...

Hello again CC,
Well, we just submitted an offer on a nice 240 with a 496 merc mag. We'll see how it goes. I would much rather be selling a used boat in this market than trying to buy one. We're 0 for 4 including a nice 246 where the owner just decided she no longer wanted to sell AFTER we made an ...

Thanks for the tip. (Un)Fortunately, this boat doesn't have a tower. I've contacted Sampson about an OEM tower quote. Probably getting ahead of myself but hey, why not?
Maybe I could mount the depth finder inverted on top of the tower🤔.
Haven't seen any threads on that "upgrade" but maybe BBP ...

Tell that to your tower. Too soon?

Oh ouch. Yes you can't have your tower up in the garage. That doesn't work.

I don't see a problem

Nice CaptBob! You could garage boat all day in there.

Well why didn't you bring it home 😂😂
Do you want a boat that big? It will ride better than the 220. It won't be as fast but it will do pretty good. Sounds like a great boat for 24k!!


Sorry, bad math 🤓. Should have said $1100 more, not $900 less, still a decent price compared to the few I saw ...

Went to the dealer today. 220 was OK-not quite as nice as I was expecting. However, as we were walking around, he mentioned a 2004 246 that just came in on consignment- not yet on the website. It was in almost pristine condition, only 165 hours, and it comes with a trailer- all for $900 less than ...

Hello CC. It's been awhile. Still no boat but back looking. Going to look at this 2004 220 w/ the Merc 350 Mag on Saturday. https://www.sportshopltd.com/default.asp?page=xPreOwnedInventoryDetail&id=8885772&p=2&s=Year&d=D&fr=xPreOwnedInventory

Any thoughts on that power plant in the 220? Looks ...

I gave up dog, shotgun, golf, snow skiing and many other things to buy my new Cobalt. Lol.

Wife would definitely trade in my dogs for a boat! :lol:

Was this one posted before.
