Thanks, she is cleaning up really nice. As far as the top goes, just a matter of personal preference. The top is listed here on OSO in the parts classified now. It is a very well built, heavy piece and in excellent shape. For my use at Tenkiller we run around the lake and pull in a cove, if we want shade we put up a Taylor Made Anchorshade and pull it down when we go. Thinking about putting some whipples on the 525s and turning up the power a bit. Here are some pics. Hope they are all turned the right way?!?

I assume yours was the 343 I saw in Woodard this past weekend. I liked it so much I was doing a little research on it tonight and found your post. We were right behind your line on Sunday; she looked and sounded great, lots of comments from my friends.

EXCELLENT!!

Nice work

I assume it was us. Still learning the boat and trying to stop comparing to Cigarette i.e. width, weight, etc. etc... Overall a great boat but wish we could work out our gremlins with these 496's.

What kind of boat is this?

BRWIC,

Is your red for sale, saw a similar red without the hardtop listed recently? Love the looks of these boats!

Yes it is. Its featured in the Cobalt section here on OSO. I have been out of phone coverage for several days but am available if you want to talk about it. Thanks

any issues with overheating with your 525's?
What oil temps are you seeing on hot days running hard?
I am looking into the 343 as I love the Cobalt quality having had 3 of them.
recently sold my 292 Fastech and looking for a little larger luxury.
seeing these with the 496HO quite a bargain these days.
Thanks for the info
Teddy
