Now there is some news that I have been waiting for... I would really like to replace the windshield that the hubby took out.

We love ours too and I don't think we will ever own anything else!

What happened to the company in the first place? I thought they were doing well then all of sudden I hear they were shutting down. I'm glad to see they are back up and running. They do make some nice boats.

I hope they get back on line and do well I love the boat and will probably upgrade to a new one. I also would love to see a dealer in this arklatex again but I guess we will just have to see. Good Luck Cobra boats!!!

Do you know if they going to change the design any or do you think they basically are just going to change the name?

fish_cobra · « **Reply #10 on:** May 26, 2004, 11:20:21 PM »

No changes in the boat as of now, just the company name. I'm not real sure why but i"ll find out this weekend when I'm with my brother.

Jared LeBlue · « **Reply #11 on:** May 26, 2004, 11:25:45 PM »

Cool. I'm ready to see what they will do. I'm glad to see they are back up and ready to build boats.

Rattle,
I'll try to find out all I can when I see my brother. Donny has a lot of experience building boats, he was the mold foreman for Champion Boats throughout the eighties and the early ninties, Then he went to Cajun for a while and then went to Cobra. He's pretty well known around the area.

Jared LeBlue · « **Reply #13 on:** May 27, 2004, 12:03:20 AM »

That speaks highly of your brother. All the boats you listed have great hulls and ride well. At least I have first hand knowledge of a Champion and a Cajun. I have never riden in a Cobra but I heard good things about them. I was disappointed when Cajun stop making bass boats because they made a very nice boat with one of the toughest hulls on the market. Is your brother going back to work for the new company?

fish_cobra · « **Reply #14 on:** May 27, 2004, 12:35:08 PM »

HE'S THE ASSISTANT GENERAL MANAGER.

Sounds like things are moving right along for the new company. I am very excited that the boats will be back on the market again. Being a Cobra owner and probably some of the best advertisement they could ask for, it will make buying a new boat a lot easier on me if our favorite is back in production.
