87 Cobalt Condessa

[farginicehole]

Just wondering if anybody has any experience with one of these? Found a decent looking one on the net, but don't know about how easy it is to remove the rear seating to make it more "fishable" (Great Lakes salmon trolling mostly). It has a 460 in it, so it shouldn't be underpowered! Any pros or cons about this boat that anybody is aware of? Thanks much!

cobalt is one of the best boats made. had a few and loved them. not familiar with that particular haul though. used mine on lake michigan trolling also.

Thanks for the reply! I'm also kind of interested in Sportcrafts of the same era, but the one thing that kind of concerns me is a single-screw inboard. Seems like that would be very tough to maneuver at the dock, and maybe even at trolling speeds (especially with a following sea!).
