New to me 1998 252
Hello everyone. Some friends and I went in on a 1998 252 8.2L and captains call. We’ve already had it out twice and man this thing is a lot of fun.

Hey KA. Welcome to the CobaltChat forum. So glad you found us!
Where do you and your friends boat?
Thanks for the pic too. The 502 is a great engine....especially with that captain's call open like you mentioned.
Snap a pic of that as well.
Again welcome aboard mate!

Re: New to me 1998 252
We are definitely excited about it. Not sure how to tell what drive is on the boat, sorry. It has a 3 blade mirage propeller on it and the previous owner gave us a 4 blade as well. As I said I’m very new to boating.thunder550 wrote: Mon Jul 27, 2020 10:26 am Welcome! Love seeing more 252s. What drive does it have?

Re: New to me 1998 252
Welcome to the best boat Cobalt ever made! I’m sure the other will be here to correct me and tell
You to get a 240 powered 190 or something
.
Also, stop calling it a 8.2, it’s an all American 502CI big block baby! Going to need a captains report on top speed and overall performance.

.....probably no argument here among the 20th century boats.....and then when the 21 century hit, the 2000-2007 260 series took the crown.
