Guys,
I am in the process of searching for the next boat.
I know that I am interested in a cobalt and would like to have something in between 22' - 25' with a big block.
For the most part, we spend our time on the water hanging out in the cove, so being on the back end of the boat is huge for us. We like the back sunpad. We do slalom, tube and do other watersports but only if the water is smooth. I want something that is going to ride well and not get beat up by the big chop on my lake. Typically we have a minimum of 4 people plus a 75lb dog so space is important. The last boat definitely felt crowded if you had more than the typical group.
I like the idea of a 1999 - 2001 Cobalt 232, or even a 2004-2006 Cobalt 220. Both with big blocks of course (I have the need for speed). Looking for the top speed to be in high 50's to mid 60's. And I know the 220 can do that, not sure on the 232.
Has anyone had experience with either boat? If I went with the 232, I would be adding a swim platform. Can't believe they didn't put one on that model 232.
Anyways, I am open to all suggestions of models, brands, etc!
Thanks in advance!
