Hello Everyone! I just bought this 2008 Cobalt 222! Glad to find Cobalt Chat. I am wanting to add dual battery, JL stereo amps, speakers, and tower speakers this off season.

I bought the boat in Colorado. It has been in Colorado it's whole life. The trailer says Great Lakes Marine, which is in Littleton, Colorado. Only 241 Hours on this Cobalt, so I thought it was a good buy.

No prob. They're is a dealer with that same name in Michigan. That's why I asked. My 2004 200 came from Colorado too. It seemed overpropped to me. It never performed very good. So see how good did at sea level. I had 26p on mine and I think it needed 24s. Which is the opposite of start you would think it would need. If I would have kept that boat I would have tried other props. But we found it to be too small for us. I don't remember the drive ratio. Congrats again.

Greetings from South Texas and a fellow 222 owner. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I have mine. My off season addition is going to be Seadek on the swim platform.
