Hello everyone! I'm a newbie from Northern Illinois who owns a 2019 Cobalt 220S powered by a 240 HP Volvo 4.3 single prop.

I am looking forward to learning from everyone. My family and I love our boat and I wanted to take the opportunity to introduce myself.

Welcome from Texas. You are at the right place. There are some very knowledgeable people. Just start digging around the forums. You gotta post pics and a Captains Report on how she performs.

So here are the requested photos, I apologize for not doing it from the beginning! While we have rented boats in the past, this our first time owning.

We bought it back in February as a stock boat. I really wanted to order one but our dealer estimated that we wouldn't take delivery until July and we didn't want to wait. We may revisit ordering a new Cobalt in a few years, I hear 2 foot itis is a thing!

We didn't get on the water until the end of May due to a crappy spring. It's been a strong runner and is super smooth. We had one minor performance issue but the service department fixed it quickly.

We primarily boat on the Chain O Lakes which is a river fed system here in Northern Illinois.

I hope this answers everyone's questions! If not ask away.

We keep on our boat on Pistakee but we are all over the place. We do a lot of tubing on Fox and hit the sandbars on Petite or Catherine.

Nice, we love Cabanas and we're down there a lot, we also cove up on Dunns a lot. Our channel is right next to the Catherine sandbar, keep an eye out and say hi!
