2001 Cobalt 226 // $26,500 // VP 5.7GSI // Trailer Included

Sadly we are selling our beloved 2001 226 as we are moving to the coast and really need a flats boat.

This 226 is nothing short of amazing! Very smooth underway, heavy enough to cut through the waves and wakes; but easily rides on a trailer as well. Currently in Maryland, but the ...

Re: Total weight - 5000Lb Towing Capacity

The issue is that your boat on your trailer will max out (weight) before your cube out (space). Being a helicopter pilot I am kind fanatical about weight and CG. When you are loading up the family and heading to the lake, all that extra space starts looking attractive for coolers, bikes, water toys ...

I was concerned that the gallon wasn’t enough, I’ll get another gallon and hit it again in the spring time.

Sunbrella Cover Rehab or buy new?

This fall we purchased a 2001 226 which came with a custom mooring cover made from sunbrella. The cover is not exactly waterproof. I got a gallon of 303 waterproofing and it seems to have helped, but it is still letting a good bit of moisture through.

Question for the group: is it worth spending ...
