Cobalt Boats Forum

Agree John,
Hybrids make the most sense in a car for the next few years. The best of EV with redundancy of gas.

I know EV will be the future once electrical infrastructure becomes widespread and battery tech is perfected, but it definitely doesn’t fit my lifestyle currently.
We just placed an order for a new truck and tow vehicle, which looks to be an almost 1 year wait.

It seems that the switch flips at Labor Day in WNY.
Labor Day weekend is like any other summer holiday. The next day is like winter, with NO boats on the lake...
We’ve been out of the game since late August. Unless it’s in the 80s, we have no use for the lake.
Getting older I guess…

Gotta LOVE…Those Ford diesels!

Pics, …..or it didn’t happen…

Last night on Marco Island, Florida

Our hull is solid navy. We don't play games when scratches show so easily.. Lots of docks have 6x6 connecting posts, and these still keep the boat off the posts. I carry three fleece lined 12" x 35" fenders. 2 to dock, and 3 to tie up to another boat. All three fit easily under the ski loc...

IMO, and due respect.. Personally I would not recommend three axles unless you are absolutely positively need them to carry a 30’, 10K and up boat. Three axles on a short trailer can really mess with necessary tongue weight if the boat isn’t long or heavy enough to transfer the weight to the hitch a...

Suspension, power etc…vehicles specked for towing have other factors considered.. Engine and trans cooling comes to mind first. Next, and even more critical, without the correct speced rear end, an overloaded differential may not be able to handle the load and heat will build, and fail. The other i...
