I'm in Navarre (20 miles east of Pensacola) and it got plenty cold... I actually drained my block for the first time ever. I'm pretty sure I would have had problems if I didn't. What kind of Cobalt did you buy?

Bought a 2006 272 out of pensacola. It has been there for 3 weeks and in tallahasse before that. I should know this morning. Anyone know if a 8.1 Gi is closed cooling or is it optional?
Thanks, Derek

Cool boat, my buddy had on 07 272 last year with that same set-up. Right around 60mph. I'm pretty sure that it's not stock closed cooling but there are more knowledgeable people on here that can answer that question. Make sure you do a compression test and check to make sure there isn't water in the oil... It did get pretty cold for a few weeks. Good luck.

It gets cold here, but never enough to do the damage you are talking about. I've lived here for 20 yrs... including 89 when it snowed 5 inches.. Still, the daylight hours are warm enough to thaw things out pretty quickly. We have sprinkler systems/ pool pumps...plumbing..etc... protected only by a shelter and have never had a problem.
