I think those used to be made in Texas.

They even took it out to the lake, which I guess they don't normally do for smaller boats. Apparently it will be a CS22, not a CS2 like I was originally told.

Last one...you can kind of see the 50th anniversary badge on the back. They also appear to have added the cockpit tonneau cover, which isn't something I requested!

That's really cool to have a timeline of pics of your boat being built start to finish. CS22 Special! One of a kind for sure.

You should ask what they think about being bought and what the word is over there...

That's badtothabone Notstock.
It's very interesting to see how it all comes together. And that's your boat on the water? I just wonder if that's a final test run or if they take the lid back off for more tweaking? Either way it's fascinating to see the time line and what they can do in a week or so.

And I wonder what the guy is doing on his laptop? Is there a port under the dash?

Notstock, do you know if the Bimini on your new cs22 is the EZ fold Bimini? It's a different design than mine. I had never heard of that until Tuscany mentioned it.

That was my actual boat on whatever lake is near Neodesha, KS. The dealer told me they normally only test twin engine boats on the lake. The rest just get dunked in Cobalt's test pool. But, they wanted to make sure this one wouldn't catch fire like the last one, so it got some special treatment.

Once difference I noticed is that they moved the EVC display. On the first boat it was in place of the little cubby hole to the right of the steering wheel. Not it's all the way on the side near the throttle. I wonder if the original location led to the pinched wire/fire issue.

I think he just has a clipboard, and not a computer.

The bimini on the first boat seemed really easy to work, so Im guessing it was the EZ fold. I'm not sure about this one yet. I would think they would have used the bimini from the first boat, so it should be the same. It'll be here in a couple hours though, so I'll let you know.

I would be interesting to see the serial number HIN number sorry on this boat. If it's number 1 and a anniversary boat I would not put it in the water I would store it away. It could be the first Cobu made :-)

HIN is FGEC2004F718

I believe the FGE is the code used for Cobalt being the manufacturer, and the F718 means it is a 2018 made in June of 2017. So that leaves C2004. I'm not sure how to decipher that part of it.
