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!

Yessir! I ordered it on your recommendation. I like it, but it seems to leave a residue of some sort. BB said it's probably from sanding it buff marks and he's right, I can see faint marks when the light is just right. I'm about to buff both sides again. (yay)

Hey after all this time I just got your forum name :-) daaaa.
I'm not a fan of the smell of the hot sauce though. I put gloves on yesterday. The smell just stayed on my hands. Maybe I'll get used to it. I bought a gallon of it. If it removes water stains then all good.

I never tried to figure out his user name... Now I can't! Tell me!

I agree with the smell of the hot sauce - but it works.

I just make sure I do the interior as well and that stuff smells amazing! Balances out.
