240 BR Rebuild

[Big Block Power]

I guess turn it on for a few tenths and see what it does. I don't run mine for hours in acc.

Thanks B. I was thinking my clock must be running to get as many hours on as it shows.

I have always been an AM radio type of guy, and never saw much value in a nice stereo. Now that I do I play a lot of Pandora. We usually anchor against a cliff and play movie scores, sometimes for 2 or 3 hours while we're floating or just relaxing, so that must be where my hours are coming from.

I have always been a blues or classic rock type of guy, but these movie soundtracks are really cool! If you're into that kind of music I recommend Braveheart (film score). When Last of the Mohegans, Batman Begins, or Transformers is echoing off the cliffs, it's pretty freakin awesome!

Ytmsn,

Just read thru this entire thread. That is one amazing transformation on your 240. WOW

Beautiful job my friend. You certainly have a gift for patience, vision, and ability.

Where did you purchase the Cobalt swim platform "teak" looking mat? Expensive?


Btw, Table Rockin's boat on that lift was also gorgeous. Kudo's to both of you for restoring/keeping your Cobalt't in extraordinary condition.

Thanks Aslan! Its been a lot of fun. Still fine tuning some things, but so far its been a great boat.
The swim platform material came from here: aquamarinedeck.com

THANKS Ytmsn....How did you get that beautiful Cobalt logo on the material?

[Ytmsn]

I just asked them! They had never done it before and it turned out nice

It is actually stunning, Ytmsn! Surprised there are no copyright issues with another company doing that. I know that is a big deal for aftermarket folks who sell even those tiny key fobs...the manufacturer's come after them. Most of those come from China to get around that sort of thing.

This mat looks made in the USA though. Again, just gorgeous. May be the best swim platform I have seen to date.

[Ytmsn]

Shhh! I may need to do it again! But next time it'll probably be a CoBu logo..

Wow YT (liquid, you got it yet? ), just read through all 15 pages and I am seriously impressed with the transformation here. Thanks for documenting everything!

[Ytmsn]

Thanks Thunder! You should do a build thread on yours too, I'd like to see it. And yeah, it finally clicked with Liquid!

[AsLan7]

This thread is such a good read, I just went thru it all again, Ytmsn!

Some things I picked up the 2nd time...man that boat had many issues. What did the previous owners do to it! It's like she was abused by a bad motorcycle gang. I really commend you for rescuing another Cobalt and getting her off of life support and into a thriving family.

You have great talent and patience.

Love the red boot stripe you had added. I like the color and glad it's not brighter. Really classy.

Beautiful job on the helm although I don't like the color of the steering wheel (sorry).

I missed the page about that custom cover you had done the first time around. I was laughing pretty good at the HUGE red stripe and your carnival comment. My wife laughed pretty good as well.

Funny about Liquid and the Ytmsn puzzle although I must admit --I have no idea from what your username is derived. Must be a Midwest thing.

LED lights look amazing.

I'm going to check out your aquamarine swim platform cover company as mentioned earlier. Again, it's the best covering I may have ever seen on a Cobalt swim platform.

Kudos all around on a beautiful build my 260 series friend.

I’ve never figured it out either. Even knowing what YT does for a living doesn’t help. Thought it was just me.

So liquid finally got it!? Or did he say he got it but really didn't get it?
Now it's funny knowing others don't get it.lol
Sorry guys it's easy.

Yt you might have to start a thread.lol

I think this was a great joke between us

It's actually really easy when you think about it. We gave so many hints. Lol

I didn't get it till we started texting off line and emails.

It's funny we have been on here for about a year together and like to you said became great friends and text all the time scheduled a get together but have yet to talk.LMAO
