Hello All!
My name is Brian. We just purchased our first Cobalt. 1996 Cobalt 220, VP 5.7Gi-DP.
Thank you all for all of your knowledge I've been soaking up over the past months since deciding we had to have a Cobalt. I have learned so much. The boat is in really good condition. One owner for 22 years, kept in dry stack. Second owner for 1 year, kept here at Lake Lanier. The boat has 438 hours on her when we acquired her and we've already put another 27 hours on her in 3 weeks. We are fortunate to be able to get out to the lake 4 or 5 days a week and are making great use of our purchase. We can be found most days at Marker 21 on Lake Lanier by Athens park. During the week it's pretty quiet but on the weekends our group of friends will have 10 to 20 boats tied up.
I did the steering wheel upgrade that everyone was talking about made such a big difference. Going in for a tune up and getting general maintenance done next week. The mechanic said, "do these things and it will run another 24 years. It's a Cobalt." Made me feel confident in our purchase.
