Thought this was pretty cool the guy did a nice job. Although the rumble seat might be a chore for adults. 24 degree dead rise too.

Very cool find! Here's an ad from before he decided to do the restoration of it. The 17' CS7 has 22 degrees at the transom, whereas the 19' CS9 that came on the market the year after, in 1983, has 24 degrees.

I appreciate the amount of labor and love that went into making that 1982 Cobalt a better looking boat.
I like threads like this, nice find.

If it wasn't in FLA I'd seriously consider buying it to use on my small (4,900 acre) local lake since it would easily fit in my 3rd garage stall. Nice find!

^^^^ I agree on a small local lake and with my younger kids it would be the perfect set up for a neat day boat and water sports. I have the same issue it's too far away. Add thru hulls with silent choice and it still could be kind of sporty.

It sure is. A nice story about when Jim Wynne arrived at Cobalt Boats, for the first time, in 1973.
