Nice job bringing her back to where she should have been. How's the stereo sound.

So it's a good thing I don't have any close neighbors because I've been out there a few times with it cranked up pretty high just to test'er out and it is amazing. When my daughters fiance came out Sunday evening to talk to me we got up in the boat since I had been working on her all day. He said he's never heard a stereo so clear, but he would have pretty much told me anything I wanted to hear too... We sat there until way after the sun went down with the lights and stereo on talking and drinking beer. It was awesome.

Looks amazing.

Congratulations on the proposal. It's cool you can get along with him - sit and have a few with him... incidentally there have been some discussions on this forum (and pics) of garage/driveway boating... one of my personal faves. If you can't be on the water you can still be in the boat!

It's amazing how bad the gel coat can be on a Cobalt, and then brought back to life. I could literally write my name in the chalk on the side, and around the logo I had to get some special tools to get in there. I didn't want to take the letters off and deal with all of that, so I just worked with what I had. It turned out good.

I got about 3 hours of break-in time on the motor. I think I need a fuel pump though. The hp side whines like a banshee under a load. It runs fine in the driveway or on the dock, but sick it gear and it'll die r whine.

Friday evening after supper I wanted to take my wife out for her first ride. I had been out for 3 hours going through the breakin procedure, so i figured a quick little ride would be fine, right?

We head down to the dock and pass about 12 guys camping and fishing in our cove. I have all the LEDs on, the stereo cranking, and my "cool" flag flying in the breeze when we get about even with all the fishermen, and she dies. Crank, crank, crank. Cuss, cuss, crank. It took awhile to get her to fire back, and in the meantime all the "coolness" just drained out into the lake! It was about 10pm with nobody on the water except my dumbass.

When she's did fire up I wasted no time in getting back to the dock..

Fuel assembly ordered and lesson learned.

It looks awesome... few more bugs to work through there.

It's like breaking a horse, she's been mistreated before, it's going to take time to build up that trust!
