Enjoying Our 1995 252 in Kansas
Hello From the Wichita area. My girlfriend and I picked up a great older Cobalt last August. It is a 1995 252 that does NOT look 23 years old. We have it in getting some upgrades right now so we’ll definitely post photos of those when they are done. I’ll post some of our photos from last year for now though.

More pics. Including the first time my girlfriend went in to do some maintenance. It was new plugs this time.

A hardy welcome from Texas Deputy. That's really putting the "First Mate" to work!! Boat looks to be in great shape. Really nice.

Re: Enjoying Our 1995 252 in Kansas
Thank you sir. And the first mate has been a great help since we got the boat. Our outdrive got stuck all the way up, which made for a sporting experience getting her back on the trailer. She researched the issue on the way home, and as soon as we got there she crawled in the engine bay and switched the trim relays around. We ordered new relays on Amazon and she installed them in about 5 minutes. So yeah, she's been a huge help. lol

Welcome from Oklahoma! Kudos to your girlfriend! Any gal that will climb in a bilge for ANYTHING has my rrespect!
Just so you know shuruff, we have almost 375 members and only one bonifid Cobalt Chat girl. Her name is Katie and she's special to all of us. Most of all shes pretty special to Jeff. But I don't think she changes plugs?
But she would be partial to a pink motor, so if Jeff was to paint it with pink nail polish she probably would. Silly gurlz..

Well I’ll have her register tonight so she can start sharing all the stuff she’s learned in the bilge.

Welcome from St Louis/Table rock lake. Looks like you have a nice clean boat there for the age. Glad to see the previous owner(s) took really good care of it.
Also great to see your girlfriend is up for helping maintain it! Sounds like you got a keeper to me!

Hey Thunder. Lol. It’s black on white, but I thought it was blue too the first time I saw it. You should recognize it though. We’re Facebook buds now. Btw I used the drawing you sent me and have that SeaDeck on the way for the factory platform. I really appreciate that. It’s going to look great.
