Try contacting Cobalt direct. They have stickers and emblems for sure for all models...the ladder is another situation.

Check ebay. I've bought numerous parts for a 79 I'm restoring

Re: oe swim ladder/oe embelems

Is it the single fold down step like this?

the fold down step is about 12 inches wide.

If so, make me an offer. I will be replacing mine. I just bought an 85 Condesa, and want a telescoping ladder.

I can take some closer pics and get you more detailed measurements. Replacement is on my list within the next month....just bought it last weekend.

Re: oe swim ladder/oe embelems

A couple of years ago our 1979 18DV was involved in a collision. Since we had the boat in the shop anyway, we decided to restore the look of the hull as much as possible.

Our fiberglass shop was able to order the decal emblems (the US flag and Cobalt logo) and vinyl Cobalt lettering directly from Cobalt. The lettering wasn't the same as the original, it was the lettering used on newer (1980's) boats. It was a more elongated font than the original. The decal emblems matched perfectly. We also tried to order a matching rub rail, but Cobalt did not carry that part any longer. OEM was light blue, and we ended up replacing it with a black rub rail. Our boat originally had a half inch wide vinyl "pinstripe" running around the bottom part of the color stripe, which we could have replaced, but decided not to.

Cobalt's website offers sales brochures in PDF format for many years dating back to the mid-70s, and is a good place to check to see how your vintage Cobalt may have looked originally.
