Welcome. Make sure you scrub the inside of that boat down, we know where it's been.

That Tinker is in pretty great condition. Says a lot about you, you'll fit right in.

Honestly, I am not sure I would have bought the boat had I not stumbled on this site. Obviously, I new that this was a flip boat from my conversations with BBP. This site and the collective knowledge made me much more comfortable buying. It really is a great resource.

Oh you'll be fine Riggs. Just make sure you have someone follow you out the first time or two..😊

Seriously, you got a great boat at a great price. I kept telling BB it is worth more, so if you don't like it you can easily make your money back.

But I'm betting you get your family out there on the water and will soon realize you can't put any kind of price on the memories that will be made!

I appreciate all the warm wishes. I'm no worried about her sinking BBP. She looks great. I am just thinking of cool upgrades! :D. Warmer weather can't get here quick enough.

Yes you only have to drill one hole in her so far for the rear transom stereo remote. The trim remote might not be a a bad on to add to the list with all of the leds :-)
Really that boat won't need too much.
Maybe tower speakers :-) oh then a unicorn :-)
maybe a new steering wheel!
Seadek or Aqua Marine swim platform pad and walk through.
I'll just start with those.
Props and a big block come later. Heck we know where we can get that already. Jr!

Oh hi Jill :-) :-) :-) :-)
Yep it's a Cobalt got to have list.

Hope to see more posts and would love to see some pics once it gets a little warmer and you can get it out on the water!
Don Johnson..
You know, that Scarab in Miami Vice was what caught my eye towards boating.
Used to love Friday nights and MV.

Welcome Riggs..
Gorgeous upgrade!
