For awhile, Cobalt offered the blue series as an engine option but you could not pair it with a B3 drive. That has since changed. 👍🏻

I had her for 10 years and she looked just as good as the day I got her, even at 20 years old! I cried the day she left us. We sold her to a good friend that was starting his family out in boating and they love her. I check on her frequently and make sure he is taking proper care of her!

It was time for something bigger and better! It's nice having more space for more family and friends to come enjoy the lake life with us. As my nephew quickly learned this year... Lake Life is the best life!
So pretty...

Century Riviera 5 Meter. Awesome boat. Was rebuilding it when I found my 190. 2002 with 47 hours on it. Absolutely pristine. Honestly I can't imagine ever selling it because it's a perfect boat for my lake. I can, however, imagine adding a Bu or R3 Surf to the mix eventually... Also with pops gone someone has to take care of that Chris Craft :D

2012 Regal 2100.. was a really nice boat and she was very good to us. Was dropping her off at the marina at the end of the season and found our CS3 and it was a done deal. Had a Regal 1800 before the 2100 have nothing but good things to say about the brand.

Congrats. Did you get a chance to get her wet though?

Technically it was this one.
After.jpg
But before that is was a Galaxy 227 Sport Cruiser cuddy cabin we owned for 10 years before I ran across our 240.
I referred to it as a Suburban on the water. We used it to pull ski's and tubes while the kids were teenagers. She was an oldie but a goodie.

I had I think it was a brand new 1989 or 90 Celebrity 180 with a 4.3. It was a very nice boat but it was a new hull and I think they copied crownline or something but I could never trim the engine because the bow was so light. It needed like 500lbs of lead in it. It was a white knuckler boat. If you went out of a wake that you were following the boat would get stuck on top of it and do the wiggles. It sucked to drive. Had it one year and gone. Celebrity was a good name in the 90s

Bought this maxum 1900sr with 5.0 merc after many years of fishing boats. I didn't want to spend much not knowing how much use I'd get out of a bow rider. After 3 seasons I decided to upgrade to present boat

2011 Sea Ray 185 new to me in beginning of Sept 2015. Trying to currently sell. I had a buddy that had one and we always went out and had a great time. My fam of 4 would take other family of four out often and it was too tight with people and stuff. Purchased it from lodder marine and that is where I first saw cobalt. July 2017 traded up to current boat that is much better fit for us. Btw boat was very sporty to drive but any chop beat the heck out of you

Boy Aj that a nice upgrade. Lots more room. Your sea ray is nicer and clean. Should make another family very happy.
