Cobalt GT 200?

[Tall Cotton]

Anybody seen/heard of/got any info on the 16 foot version of Cobalt's copy of the Corsican?

I've never heard of a GT200.
The XV200 was a copy of the 16' Ski Sporter.
The XV500 was a copy of the 18' 2+3, but with a raised rear deck.
The GT500 was the copy of the 18' Corsican

The GT-200 (to my knowledge) was never made. Of course after 21 years of looking at (and looking for) the 5 Donzi models Cobalt copied (at least in their old catalog), I had thought only the XV-200 and GT-500 actually made it to production.
I recently found the different catalog pics of the XV-500 and the Cobalt 23' (I posted those pics a while back) so who knows!
So I can now confirm by actual photos that 4 out of 5 of them really were built (at least one of each).
I'd say, by the number of boats that have popped up on the web, that there were probably, realistically (like Cobalt has told me in the past), about 35 or 40 of the XV-200's built and then only about 10 or 15 of the GT-500's.
To date, actual boats I've found on the web number about 10 of the XV-200's and about 3 or 4 of the GT-500's. And real catalog photos of XV-500 and the Cobalt 23', BUT no actual photos of GT-200 and no even catalog photos of GT-200.

Thanks for the info. The reason I asked was I found this brochure image from this website. http://www.geocities.com/classic_cobalt/info Seemed like a really neat and rare boat if it were ever produced...
