I bought a 210 not too many years ago, and added options until it was equipped comparably to a WSS but didn't get the true WSS with the graphics. You can really customize the Cobalt boats pretty well - I wish some car manufacturers were so flexible.

I will say the new dashes in these boats are cool. No more guages. My brother and I were talking that mercury and Volvo are missing the boat on diagnoses though. They should be building in diagnoses into the dash now. Then the techs won't need laptops and stuff. Kind of like the old Cadillac days for me. Push some buttons and password and you are in diagnostic mode.

Bigblock, then you don't have to go to the dealer for service, though, and the engine manufacturers can't sell a service computer to every dealership. Even OBD-II is hobbled on a lot of vehicles to prevent enterprising end users from getting at stuff they only want paying techs to get into.

The codes to get into it would never get out. Right? With all the GPS and wifi stuff out there it could be done in a secure way I think.
