A sad day as we watch her leave the driveway.
A happy day remembering all the memories on her and the new ones the new owners will make.
..and almost sad again thinking it was going to hit that mailbox! :shock:

The new owners from Cleveland should be joining the forum soon....especially if they want to see the bimini instruction pics. 8-)

Sad to see that, but congrats to the new owners. They got a well cared for boat. Hopefully there is something else fun in the works for you!

I'm betting on an R8. Reason -- SWA is going to match Delta's contract. $$$$$

Right??

Didn't know you were selling.

What's the plan?

We went 24 hours without owning a boat. Your clock is ticking.

Aslan, you've had a full day now - what's the rest of your story! I don't see you guys giving up boating...

I’m ready for the story also. My guess is something bigger with twins for Lake Erie

Sorry for the suspense my Cobalt brethren. I would love to say I got a smoking deal on this MTI that came to the docks in Erie the other day and the rest is history. :D

In reality, all of my customers (kids, nephews, and nieces) went their separate ways with jobs, careers, and families.....which means we have no customers. We used our boat at most 10 hours in the last two years. It's time for someone else to make some great memories as our Cobalt does no good sitting in a Marina.

We are boatless.....for now. ....this too shall pass. 8-)

I can always dream:

Aslan you can always come to KEUKA lake anytime you wanna take a rip in a 263. If you dont mind me asking what did she go for?

Man that's a bummer A7, but it makes sense from a financial perspective and realizing the boat is better being with someone who will use it vs sitting most of the season.

Changing priorities and hobbies is certainly part of life for many as their kids grow and get too busy with finding their way through early adulthood to still do the family activities of their youth.

If you are ever passing through NH and want a Cobalt ride, I'd be happy to take you out on the water.

Hope you still stick around these forums as an enthusiast. Your wisdom and passion for Cobalt remains even if you no longer own one.

When you first came on the forum, you immediately brought a burst of enthusiasm that helped grow the forum from 300-400 to around 5,000 or so. I really hope you stay on because your knowledge and desire to help would be greatly missed.
