New to Cobalt and boating

Post by ml3126@yahoo.com »

Hello. My first season as a boater and Cobalt owner. I am the third owner of a 1989 Condurre 243. Love the boat. As a first time owner I was planning on keeping this boat for a season and moving on to a newer one next season but I do love this boat so I am keeping it. Thanks

So glad you found us ml3…
Thanks for the pics too.

I like your window tint. Have you considered tinting the front as well? Keep the posts coming.

And welcome aboard mate!

Looks clean. Did someone paint the boot stripes on it?

Thanks. The stripes as far as I know are factory. Doing research I saw a few with the same stripes. The big block bravo one combo helps with some of the rookie mistakes!

Wow. I am not familiar with the Condurre- it has a fabulous, sleek look. 454hp is a ton of power for this boat - it must rock. Hope you enjoy it -and welcome to the cobalt family.

Killjoy.
I forgot the 454 actually can have unlimited hp maybe yours has 525hp! Or 320.
Either way is a great base to start with. Congrats.

Sorry for the buzz kill! 😂😂

I am looking for advise on a prop. Currently it has a 3 blade stainless on it not sure of size or pitch it’s still in the water. Doing some research I believe I would prefer a 4 or 5 blade to get on plane faster and low speed control. Any advise or lesson’s learned? Thanks.
