Tall Cotton - Keep the photos coming. Love to watch the progress on the old Cobalt!
Hey guys - selling my 1989 GW Invader. It's on eBay with some pics. Check out if interested.
Has a 40hp Envinrude Short Shaft with Power Trim. Very fun (and collectible) classic boat!
Here's...
Anybody have a good recommendation for what's a good alternator to get for a 1969 16' with the Holman Moody 351? Assume the 302 would be the same. I think I need a new alternator and seems like the...
Awesome GT-500. I have a Cobalt XV-200 (the Sweet 16 Donzi copy). Hey Tony! Thanks for calling me an "expert!" :)
Hmmm, pics were gone, now "some are back..." Hmmmm?

They do come on plane quickly. With the 215 HP 312 Interceptor and its light weight of only about 1800 lbs (all skin is 3/8" ply) they're pretty quick.
Here's a picture of mine (painted white...

FOR SALE - 1969 Cobalt XV-200. This is for sale by a fellow named Wayne. In discussing the boat he asked if I'd post some info and pics since, as has been discussed here often, the little XV-200's...
Popped a couple short video clips of a Dunphy X-55 on to You Tube. This is a boat "like" the one I'm SLOWLY working on restoring.
I added the videos to YouTube here this AM with the owner's...
It's my 1969 Cobalt XV-200 (Donzi 16 copy).

:rolleyes: Ah, it all makes sense now! See, that's what I get for not checking in for a long time!
Now see; this could start a whole pointless conversation and debate over whether it's best to use the bow/trailer ring or the lifting ring on the deck to tie up at the dock; or whether it's best to...
What did I miss here? That's the rope that I tie the bow to the dock with. Man, I'm thinking something here has gone right over my head!:boggled:
I'm also thinking I'm about one post away from...
That's funny! I was actually working on something like that a while back using an old sump pump I had but when I got it all ready, the sump pump died!
Here's a short video clip (link) to the boat buzzing under a bridge at Deep Creek Lake, Maryland (same place, smae day the stills were shot).

Just some cool pics of the boat from a bridge...
Thanks BG (also for the reply on the paint thread). And by the way I saw the happy birthday thread...
Happy Birthday!

Has anyone used anything "other than" SPECIFICALLY "engine paint (cans) to paint an engine?
I was getting ready to do one and was all excited because I found a rather difficult to find color in...
Where's Helen Back's? City, state, etc.?
Just curious where the little blue Cobalt (mentioned above) stays.
Hey Len,
Something just told me to pop in and here was this Cobalt message. Cool!
I think I know which boat this is. Sent an e-mail to verify and requested some pics.
