Todd your kidding right? Pete has had the same tires for 45 years- they still have the original air in them

But Ken, a SN is not a Cobalt! have you ever looked at Cobalts and their prices?

Cobalt looks like Ski Ray really with slightly different cap. Cobalt is like 89 octane of the boat world. Somebody that should have bought a Regal or a Chris Craft.

If I am not mistaken, Cobalt purchased Hydrodyne and I suspect this is the Cobalt take on the Grandsport

Two of the biggest deal breakers right there.

By the way the 21 foot SkiRay had the open bow and integrated platform.

Wow, a fiberglass duck boat wouldn't last very long with me the way I hunt!

He must be an electrical engineer. Note the Nema 4 enclosure!

Todd,
Looks like a 4 to me plus I left out the X for non corrosive. A 4 does not need to be hinged nor have channels to direct water. It's gasketed for full the washdown rating.

The wakes were small but firm. Always was reliable, sold it in 97 and bought a 1997 SN w GT-40. WS like I won the lottery I was so happy with that boat.

I drove and skied behind one of these quite a bit back in 2004-2005. I remember it feeling cheap. some details not well done, like the gunwales being rounded- not good for stepping on them with wet feet. But yeah, great hole shot, nice small wake for slalom. Pretty sure the same person I skied with then still owns the boat now.

My biggest complaint was the fuel capacity. Using the boat for anything but skiing you'd go through a tank of gas in no time. Probably helped keep the weight down, thus the wake down, but man, it was a fill-every-time kind of boat. In fact I once "opened" a marina for gas before they were really open, because this boat was out of gas like always, and the lake was flat at 7:00am so we couldn't wait... that was a good one (don't worry, we paid for the gas).

That tower looks sharp on that boat but could never bring myself to put one on mine . Fewer and fewer originals out there .

Not even really sure how this happens....
