HISTORY:The original owner and dealership where the boat was purchased new, are both within 20 miles of me (Lake Conroe, TX). I am the 2nd owner, and purchased it a year ago with the intent of fully restoring it to showroom status. The project has turned out way better than I could have ever imagined. Unfortunately now, my family and I have decided to move off the lake and onto a river 3 hours away... thus the reason for this listing. We won't really use it where we are headed.The boat has been stored inside since I picked it up. It has been meticulously refurbished and loaded with custom upgrades.I recommend viewing on a desktop computer so you can enlarge the photos, and see the attention to detail that was taken throughout.ENGINE/OUTDRIVE:A 415-horsepower Volvo Penta 8.2 GSi/DP engine with 300 freshwater hours, that runs like new. DuoProp drive puts the boat on plane in 3.2 seconds, and hits top speed close to 60 mph. Based on a cruise speed of 30 mph and the boat's 70-gallon fuel capacity, the boat should offer 190-mile range.Full inspection and servicing recently completed by a local dealer (Texas Marine), with no issues found. The prop was also reconditioned at this time.FEATURES:- Yacht certified- Transom trim switch- Transom shower- Transom stereo remote- Transom "Inflate-all" air pump- Swim platform cooler- Power engine hatch- Captain's call exhaust- Dual batteries with Perko-Engine room fire suppression system- Engine compartment heater- Head with pump-out "Sanipottie"- Docking lights- Trim tabs- Ski locker- Ski pylon- Voluminous storage- 2 Insulated coolers- Much more...UPGRADES IN 2017:- Blue LED courtesy lighting throughout- Blue LED transom underwater lighting- Kenwood M318BT digital receiver (bluetooth w/ app remote)- Kenwood RC35MR marine remotes (dash + transom)- Kenwood XR400-4 amplifier- JL Audio MX650 speakers- 35% premium-grade window tint- SeaDek faux teak flooring on swim deck, transom, stairs- Seagrass woven vinyl flooring through cockpit- New chrome Cobalt emblems on exterior- 2017 Cobalt steering wheel with self-leveling hub- Carbon fiber hydro-dip on dash and all trim- Stainless cupholders- many other minor upgradesNOTABLE ISSUES:- Minor dock rash a few inches length, on starboard side, mid-boat. Can only see up close. Photo can be supplied.- Crack behind one of the recessed cup holders, on starboard side, rear cockpit. Photo can be supplied.UNKNOWN:- The boat came with a matching bimini, that will be included. It appears to be in good condition, but never tried. It is not faded and has the Cobalt logo embroidered across the front of the cover. A photo can be supplied upon request.- The boat has a 1000 watt "Boatsafe" Engine Compartment Heater installed. The boat is in storage, and I'm in TX so it has never been used. This will be a feature I will guarantee to be in working condition. If for some odd reason it is not, a replacement will be provided.TRAILER:The Dorsey trailer is custom for this boat, which has brand new tires and rims. Brakes and lights are good. The actuator is really the only issue and could use servicing.NOTES:This boat really is one-of-a-kind, and something that must be seen and driven to appreciate. It's 4700 lbs dry with a22-degree deep-V hull which does well in the chop.This boat sold for over $73K around 15 years ago, and with all the new upgrades, has more to offer now than it did then. The new R7 is the most comparable that Cobalt offers today and it starts at $124K from the dealership. This boat is nearly showroom condition.Serious buyers only. Have your funds ready before you make the classifieds board purchase. When you come to pickup the unit, you are welcome to thoroughly inspect it and take it out on Lake Conroe for a cruise. If you are not happy with it at that time, no problem - I will refund everything other than a $1000 deposit (classifieds board fees, getting boat in/out of storage, hours added to the motor, re-detail, etc). Note that this $48,500 price is non-negotiable - online or in person.Feel free to ask as many questions as you'd like. If I don't know the answers, I'll get them for you. Thanks for your interest!
