Nice looking boat, but $45K foran 8 year old boat blows me away. I know it's a Cobalt, but that is a chunk of change! Yikes!

Well that one went quick! Called on it 2 hours after it was posted and it was sold.

WOW. MSRP on the 2017 version is $107k ... so the $45k price tag may not be bad. But I'm with JAS ... that's pricey ...

The good ones go immediately and so you need to quickly learn when it is and isn't a good deal. I will say the learning curve is very steep after you lose out on a couple. You won't need to post anything but will be quickly rushing over there or setting up the purchase. 45k is peanuts for a nice boat like that. My neighbors just bought a brand new much lesser brand a couple feet smaller for over 50k which will be worth much less when it is that cobalt's age. Good luck.

Your killing me. I have a 2011 Cobalt 232 that sunk on it's maiden voyage in fresh water. We put in a new engine, all new gauges, new stereo,batteries, new switches, new circuit breakers, carpet, Bimini, and travel covers. She looks new, and runs like new after all the help from i-boats experts. I am waiting for one nice day. The boat with a brand new easy loader trailer with disk brakes was 20K. I have put 10K into it. It looks brand new and all my kids want it ( of course at a greatly reduced cost). I hope I have better luck than dentist who owned it before me. I will post on how she handles. Dave-R

There has been a little hiccup with the original offer. Went ahead and put a refundable deposit on it and an offer of 39K so I'm up if something happens. Research I have done tells me its a pretty good deal.

That's how it's done. Good job.
