1983 Cobalt 18DV with 260 OMC engine and outdrive. Includes OEM top, swim pad, single person tube and three person tube. Previous owner refinished all the teak in the boat and had outdrive overhauled within the last 5 years. While this work was being done the mounts between the engine and stringers were also reinforced. Prop isn't perfect but functional. Mechanical 8/10

The interior is in really good shape for an 83. Some of the vinyl seat seams were tearing but that was addressed with vinyl tape. Interior 8/10

I have been mainly focused on the exterior gel coat removing oxidation and refreshing some of the decals. There are some locations on the hull that have had some repairs done over the years. The bump rail was next on my list but just have not had time to get to it. Exterior 6/10.

Trailer is functional but could probably use some paint. 5/10

It's not showroom but is a classic boat that will get you out on the water. Selling because I just don't have time to use it anymore. I just got new stickers for it so registration is paid for the next several years.
