I'm from the land of Cobalt (Kansas) and it's always been on my bucket list because they are so well made. That doesn't mean, however, that every owner maintains their investment like I would...
Exciting stuff! Not exactly sure what you're looking for but for me, I have to think how many nights I will "actually" stay on the boat. I mean if you're planning on spending more than say 5-10 nights, the cabin area becomes lots more important. For me, the gathering space, seating and swim platform would get used way more than the cabin. I imagine how 4-6 people would sit and use the seating and tables, others would likely would never go below unless they need the head. Like the fridge for a few cold ones... Cheers!
The previous owner is to be commended for redeploying a window AC unit so it can drain condensate and pump hot air into the bilge. I've never understood why integral marine AC units exchanged heat with water instead of air. Maybe someone else here with greater knowledge can speak to whether it is a fire hazard because it does not have the tinned electrical connections, could spark, or whether shoving heat into the bilge is not preferable to exchanging heat with through-hull water. They are all compromises aboard.
I've crawled through my transom door a few times after dock parties. Never had shrink wrap to worry about.

Exactly…
Ole Blues Ayes…I like this boat.

Well...I wish I could tell you exactly what I'm looking for. LOL...I'm back to evaluation mode. You'll see why next week.
I have the same boat and love it.
Nice looking boat! Make sure to check corrosion on lower unit (early Bravo 3’s had corrosion issues on lower unit)
It is a really nice looking boat...the unfortunate parts come out in next week's video.
@@WiscoBoaterAhhhh…..The suspense!! Thanks for the tour!
So many switches!
Hey fella, nobody laughs at a James Taylor CD. Dang young punk. 😉😁
HAHAHA! Gotta love JT!
Likes nice!. One owner is a plus . Did family provide any previous maintenance records? On to the mechanical inspection?
Found out it isn't a one owner boat...and several other things. Stay tuned for next week's video!
That a/c seems a little fishy. Is there a water line going to it? I didnt see an intake grate on the bottom of the boat for the sea strainer either.
Yeah, I didn’t figure out the AC…never seen anything like that before. 🤷🏻♂️
Cue the ominous music.
🤣🤣🤣
