The hubby went and picked it up on Sunday and is driving it out to Vegas on Tue. We are going to spend Wed, Thurs (my b-day), and Fri on Mead. Super excited. All that is really left is to change the name. It is a 1993 22' Cole.

It's bad luck to change the name of a boat. I have seen it done twice and both times they have sunk. But it is your boat. Nice boat you will have fun.:D :D :D

Thanks. Yeah we go to Mojave also and Parker. Mead is easy because it is only 20 minutes from me and the previous owner said that even though it is only 22' he has had it on Mead many a times and it takes it like a champ. But we have been out on Mead in some good sized boats and gotten tossed so I know what you mean. Thanks again for the advice. Mojave is gorgeous.

I used to have a Cole 22.4 and took it to Mead many times. It was fine for 90% of the time we were out in it and the other 10% it would not have mattered what we were in, we would have received a beating.
Enjoy!

Yeah, one year we were out in a Lavey 2750 for the Regatta and we were getting tossed in that. From what I have heard, Cole is such a solid boat and with the closed bow it can hold its own on Mead. I will be enjoyin ;) Noticed you are in Vegas. Maybe c u out on the water.

Very nice one of my Fav's:)
But heed the warning about changing the name :eek: there is a certain way it needs to be done. :devil:

Your gonna love that boat! I put in quite a few hours on one in the late 90's. Those boats run well!

Thanks. That is what I heard. My husband has grown up around boats like this but I grew up around sail boats so I wanted something managable, safe, and reliable since I will be taking it out by myself most of the time. The guy we bought it from is the original owner and he is meticulous with his boats. I can't wait to take it out on the water. :D

330 hp. It's got a 454. Plenty for what I want it for. I am less about high speed and more about cruising and riding the air chair.

Yesterday was our first day on the water in the Cole. By the time we got it registered and launched it was already around 4pm, which I am sure that anyone that has been on Mead knows is when the winds pick up. We were both really impressed by how this boat handled. We have only been out on Mead in bigger boats - 2750 Lavey, 270 Hallett, and the 285 Hallett, so this was our first time being in such big water on Mead in such a small boat. We stayed close to the Marina to get a feel for her. It was rough at times, but never felt unsafe. It really is a great boat. :D Time to go back out. :D

...although I must admit, I didn't do it like they say.
Mine went something like this:
600grit, 1200grit, 2000grit, water and polishing compound. Then I praised the great gods of malted hops and poured some out for my dead homies too...
I never painted a new name on, just sanded off the old. Maybe I'm still ok? :) :rollside: :)

Once you change that name you can probably pass it on to just a few people on this forum.

Looks nice. There is just on thing missing, a JET PUMP. :D :D Good luck out there and be carful with that prop and kids. If I had anything to say about it I wouldn't let anybody jump off the back.
