Congratulations on your first boat.. ! Boating is a combination of pleasure and work. The trick is to keep the boat in top shape so there is more pleasure than work !! Cobia boats were purchased from Yamaha in 2004-2005. We did not get the library of data from past years. We cannot tell you anything helpful about your boat. However, we have a good many members who were boating back then and may be able to help. It sounds like you have a boat that has been used and improved upon, and upgraded. I would take the boat out and stay close to the ramp until you make sure all the

Wow Capt !! Great Fish !! Great Trip !! MM !

Just stay on the back side of the island chain and follow the channel markers up to Islamorada for day trips.. Lunch at Worldwide sportsman, Gotta take the crew to Robbie’s and feed the Tarpon.. Drive up to Theater of the sea by car if weather is really bad.. You can still have a great time.. Update us if you can !! Marc

In my experience, the dealer rigs the boats with a recommended prop for the setup. Props have been hard to get, so the allowance is sometimes done to get it delivered. No hard & fast rules. Ask the salesman..

No problem ! They do the tours on Fridays in a group. Nothing secret is shown. MM

You’re a good man, Nole !! We’re in good company here, folks. MM

That is some Blue-Ribbon work, there !! My regards !! MM

Here is his info he sent me.. Good to hear from you. I hope all is well. We have reinstituted the tours. Have him call me at (772) 465- 0631, ext 126. Or he can email me at this address. cjohnson@maverickboatgroup.com Charlie will hook you up.. Marc

Yes.. Keep the water circulating and keeping fish alive for weigh ins if it is a bigger release well..

Generally they do the tours on Fridays at 2 pm for the past few decades. Let me inquire for you.. Marc

Glad it worked out, Ron. your boats are always Blemish-free. Marc

That’s great, Chris !! Do give me a call.. We go to the sandbar on the windy days. Hahhahahahhaha

That’s great !! I’ll send you a PM and we will talk. I haven’t spent much time at KCB but it’s a spectacular property.. Maybe someone else will chime in with some helpful info about the fishing and snorkeling there.. MM

Lots of quality MA’s pop up for sale here if this boat isn’t suitable..

Trailer is for a much smaller boat and is not supporting the transom, just the thin bottom. Not the best for stringers on rough roads / Railroad tracks.. If you are new to boating, you need to have a knowledgeable person look the boat over.. Just being honest with you.. MM
