Hello everyone. My name is Tony and we are from Green Lake, WI. This picture was our last ride on our 2002 226, that we had for the last 18 years. And now we wait for our new ride 2020 R5 classic all White, black boot strip with white arches. And of course being from Wisconsin Big block 380 mercruiser. I really appreciate all the advice I have received on this forum over the years.

Hey TR5. Welcome to the Cobaltchat forum. So glad you found us!

Great picture of your ex (boat that is)

Looking forward to your R5 pics. ...and yes, some great folks here with some great advice. I’m sure you’ve got quite a bit of Cobalt wisdom to bring forth as a loyal Cobalt owner.

Looking forward to your contributions.

Again, welcome aboard mate!

Congrats. Did you buy from Clay?
What's the chance you live in Illinois?
Can't wait to see your boat. We will be hitting green lake more this year!!

Yes I talked to him a few times. He helped me out a few times with this boat. He almost had me in a r3 a few years ago. I should have jumped on it. Left over r3 with a 380. I let it slip out of my hands. It was a smoking deal. Still kicking my butt today even.

Are you trading in your 226??

TR5 · Post by **TR5** » Fri Jan 31, 2020 11:30 am

Yes, we traded it in and it looks like Shoreline Boat Center has already sold it.

Darn. What engine did it have?

The 350 MPI with Alpha 1 Drive. and a custom SS prop from Bblades and could get her to 57-58 with a half tank a gas and my two dogs barking away.

Welcome from Texas Tony. Looking forward to the pics of the new boat. That has to be sad and exciting to give one lady up and get a new trophy lady.

So, you received advice over the years, but you are just now joining? I hope you were clicking on the ads to help pay for all of that advice.
