Re: Cobalt introduces new CS3 for 2016

Couldn't agree more. I really don't like that boat. I'm not a huge transom walk-through guy as I hate losing rear bench seating space but dual walkthroughs surrounding engine with "island" sun pad couldn't be less appealing personally. I just don't see it at all, I'm kinda shocked this eve...

Re: Hello From Sub-Tropical Minnesota!

Bittersweet day. Took her out for one last spin and then it was out of water for winterization. Since only had her for 3 weeks my sample size was minuscule....but resplendent.

Alas, didn't get around to anymore pics.

Dear Spring/Summer, please hurry.

Re: Cobalt vs Sea Ray

After having looked at literally HUNDREDS of used Cobalts and Sea Rays in person, model years 1999 - 2014 I honestly feel bad putting them in the same sentence. I only considered 19 - 24 footers, and perhaps Sea Ray is equal to Cobalt in their much larger models, but in the small bowrider category 1...
