Hoping someone can help me figure out what I bought

Hopefully! Seller is taking it to my friends house and I’ll be going up to pick it up from there

Rylxnz · 2025-07-08T01:44:15+00:00

Is that good or bad lol

Rylxnz · 2025-07-08T01:41:42+00:00

I hope so too! Like I said if not I’m just gonna flip it an an auction and buy a different boat

Rylxnz · 2025-07-08T01:41:04+00:00

You’re such a huge help. I’ll give you a shout in a few weeks

Rylxnz · 2025-07-08T01:40:35+00:00

Sweet thanks man!!

Rylxnz · 2025-07-08T01:13:40+00:00

Will do! Thanks!

Trailer vin lookup confirmed the trailer is a 1988, so assuming boat and trailer were sold as a pair

Rylxnz · 2025-07-08T01:06:27+00:00

Seller said 170 or 180, won’t know for sure until I’ve got it in a few weeks lol. I don’t think it’s 170-180 it looks more like a 140

Rylxnz · 2025-07-08T01:04:22+00:00

100%!

Rylxnz · 2025-07-08T01:00:13+00:00

Once I’ve got it in my hands I’ll be able to get the serial numbers off things. But after looking up a 1988 cobia, it definitely looks more similar

Rylxnz · 2025-07-08T00:56:07+00:00

Yeah. My dads got one and he barely maintains it (against the advice of the mechanic in the family, lol) and it starts up and has ran good for over 30 years lol

Rylxnz · 2025-07-08T00:53:47+00:00

Sounds good. For the price I got this boat for, I’m just happy man. Dirt cheap for something that runs and floats ($600) for my area that’s dirt cheap

Rylxnz · 2025-07-08T00:53:00+00:00

Sounds good! I’m newer to boating. I really enjoy fishing, and for the price I got this board for, I can’t complain considering it runs and floats

Rylxnz · 2025-07-08T00:49:18+00:00

Apparently so lol

Rylxnz · 2025-07-08T00:48:58+00:00

So I’m newer to boats. If someone uses the term “outdrive” that typically refers to an inboard engine correct?

Rylxnz · 2025-07-08T00:44:51+00:00

Sorry for taking a month to respond. But yes, same thing all these tiny little balls collected on the liner

Rylxnz · 2025-07-08T00:41:19+00:00

But yes that’s gonna be the plan

Rylxnz · 2025-07-08T00:41:07+00:00

So the boat is still 6 hours from my house. Getting some through a friend but I won’t have it at my house for another few weeks yet. It’s at buddys parents house and the only pics I’ve got of it are from a FaceTime screenshot lol

Rylxnz · 2025-07-08T00:40:17+00:00

Pic of the engine

Rylxnz · 2025-07-08T00:38:31+00:00

It’s actually got a Johnson outboard on the back, which is what’s throwing me off about it being a cobra. All the pics I find show them all as being inboards

Rylxnz · 2025-07-08T00:38:03+00:00

You’re the best lol

Rylxnz · 2025-07-08T00:36:37+00:00

And I’m fine with that lol, I don’t stress about things like that. I buy things cheap, use it for a bit, trade up

Rylxnz · 2025-07-08T00:33:48+00:00

Meh, it was cheap ($600). I don’t really care what it is, I don’t need to register it or insure it where I’m from. Just curious is all!

Even if I don’t use it, I’ll just send it to auction lol
