Kas-- great shots- quick question. That shoreline looks pebbly--any challenges with bringing her up on the beach and hull damages? I'd be scared to death!

It's funny, I noticed the same thing from the photos. When we beached it there it looked much sandier from the other direction. I do already have some wear on the hull and also some damage from some exposed staples from the trailer bunks, so I'm not too concerned as it will all need to be fixed at some time in the future.

Any Speed Racer fans out there? My brother and I could not get enough of that show...

I think I would have picked a different day for a ride.

I went to the site to order one. But they didn't have a option for a 1000 year loan!

Suncoast Boat Show in Sarasota today. Sadly no Cobalts, but some pretty incredible boats on display. Lots with the new 600HP Merc OBs

Keep the pictures of open water warm weather and palm tree’s coming! The ice just came off a few lakes around me but most of the lakes in the northern half of MN still have ice on them... We don’t even have any temps in the 60’s in the 15 day forecast!

Ran great, nimble, with a top end of 40mph. Lift accommodated beautifully and my “flyer” buying a ML25 mooring cover paid off. Fits almost perfectly for $900.00 new old stock!

Spent most of our weekend (about 15 hours total) buffing, waxing, cleaning the interior, and rewiring the stereo. The previous owner’s idea of how to wire electronics was downright dangerous.

Before shot, gross. The transom speakers also got pulled, new speakers are being installed all around.

Many, many, many hours and a sunburn later. Shiny.

Wife worked on the interior while I was grinding away with the buffer. Took her more than a few passes with the carpet cleaner before it stopped coming up brown. Honestly looks like new now.

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this rats nest of wires. Pulled all new cables, and shook my head in disbelief.

Cruise of Sarasota Bay today. Finally saw a Cobalt in the wild....and a dolphin, and a manatee. LaBarge was the name of the company for those visiting the area and interested in a tour.

These new designs with the fold out sides all the way to the water line make me nervous. I know it’s been finely crafted and engineered, just not natural.

Really cool pictures, looked like a great show.

Noting too spectacular, but have been enjoying seeing all the spring pictures so figured I’d drop in a hello as well. Water in the open bay was pretty rough thanks to a stiff wind last time out, so stayed in the backwater and caught some boat up brunch.

First run of the season

They wouldn't let me take the big boat out today.
Took a road trip to Cleveland today.
