Re: How many Cobalt’s?

Post by gdane »

The last time I toured the plant. The tour guide was asked the total number built he said the average is about 1,000 boats per year. So close to 50,000 have been built?/ Don't know about the early years or the recession years??? So Driller do you work as a book maker as your side hustle?? :mrgreen:

Driller is a numbers guy and very good at it. I'm thinking if he focused his skill into numismatic talent and teamed with Tuscanys fortune telling ability we might be able to corner the market.

Hmm. I think we may be on to something here..

That's roughly 5 1/2 boats a day.
To get to 10,000 they'd only have to do around 1/2 a boat a day over the last 50 years. So I'm thinking well north of 10,000.
Right, but in the earlier years prior to the peak in 2006 this wasn't the case. It is likely I am considerably low, but the number isn't 100,375.
Not sure of actual total number but i agree 100,000 would be a lot.
Between 2006 and now your talking over 24,000, probably close to 30,00. Add the previous 35 years and I could see that number hitting 50,000.
I'm thinking I should get a chicken dinner.

Okay, you need to be in on this. Drillers numbers, Tuscanys polished fortune telling bowling ball, and your picks.

Bingo. Were gonna be RISH!!

Jeesh. Anytime someone starts talking about a little profit to be made and everyone wants in!.
Okay B, your in. Now hush and eat your chicken dinner.

Nauti gets a bonus for every Cobalt found with a grill mounted on the swimdeck. And BB gets paid for every 2 speed wench.

I of course was way off in my estimate. However, as a group we were in the ballpark!!

"It is probably close to 75,000 units since 1968. Aprroximately 1400-1500 unit per year average.
