Here are the Coles that my Dad and I have and have been restoring for 4 years now! 1996 Superhawk with a 454 Mag EFI and a 1989 SS that is in the process of a rebuild. Everyone's Coles are awesome!!

Thank you very much!! Good luck with the sale of your cole!

Your boat is gorgeous I love the look of this boat! My Dad and I have been rebuilding Cole boats and they are so much fun to drive and rebuild back to their glory days! I was wondering if you would be able to help us out. We want to put external steering on the Cole SS we are building now and I...

No the boat doesn't have the motor, drive, interior and hardware. The boat still has the mercruiser steering and transom in the boat. Ok great thanks a bunch for the information and price. If I ordered the kit from you could I install the system myself in the garage. It's the perfect time to do...

Hey has anyone ever installed this on their own boat? If you have how difficult is it to install? I have a boat all the way torn apart and getting the gel done this winter and want to put steering on it. How much does it run if a shop does it? I want a dual ram setup on a single bravo one...

Ya we were also surprised by the nails to. The floor had been done by cole boats and the nails didn't move unlike the screws. I don't know why but even with the fiberglass over the top of the screws they backed out some enough for water to get under the matt and glass. We tried to go back with...

No one the bottom we put 3 coats of outdoor spar varnish. We did that on everything that was wood in the boat. All the seat bases and seats, hatch and open bow.

Ya RD thats what this one had going on. The screws had the water run down the threads and sit in the stringer which had rot and the nails were seated all the way still and intact. When we put the floor back in we used nails and sealed everything with fiberglass so hopefully we have pretty good...

In all the models that have the open bow other than the 25 and 28ft Coles are missing this floor are for leg room. Its not bad to keep clean just vacuum it a lot and dry it with a towel when it gets wet and its fine.

Sorry I haven't updated in a while. But to continue the rebuild we built an entirely new floor out of 3/4 inch marine grade plywood since the old floor was very rotten. Once all the pieces of the floor were cut and custom fitted to the floor we used nails like Cole boats had done to fasten...

I have the 22 ft super hawk and a 20 ft bullet (or SS) and hopefully the 22 skier at some point. Thanks for checking that's awesome!!

Do you have any of the Hot Boats with articles on any of the cole boats? I would be very interested in purchasing those since I have 2 Coles it would be fun to have more information on them.

So RD I had a lot of trouble finding the right board we wanted for the stringer we wanted something very vertically strong with some natural water repellentcy. So the board for the stinger is cedar with a very tight grain that is vertical in the board rather than horizontal so when you bolt...

So now we got the new stringer in with one coat of fiberglass with matting on top and we followed it with 3 more coats of the same thing and it came out great. Stay posted for more later on! Almost forgot the picture of my Dads Stingray so here you go.

So to continue we started getting into the floor more and here are the pictures to tell more of the story. As you can see from the pictures the boats is pretty rotten so we decided to say screw it and go for it. We tore the whole floor out of the boat which was pretty rotten everywhere and...

Hello everyone I dont normally post all that much but I think this will make a great thread! About 3 years ago my Dad and I found a Cole Superhawk in California on craigslist. We called the guy and talked to him and he said it was in good condition and just needed a little TLC and some clean up...

I have a 22 super hawk with a 454 mag efi and it didn't like the 3 blade 23 pitch mirage. It did really like the lab finished 26 pitch merc 4 blade and ran out really nice and got 73 on GPS. I tried a 22 pitch merc 4 blade and the super hawk didn't like it. It was slow out of the hole and I...

The skier as far as I have read about the skier it has a different deadrise at the back of the boat than the super and nighthawk. I have a superhawk with a 454 mag efi but I am in Colorado so I should run a 22 but only have a 24 bravo 1. What will the three blade do differently from a 4 blade?

Thanks for the help guys!! Ill let u know how it goes, where did u find the replacement part upsman105?

Went to the lake this morning and just had it out for the first time this summer since I live in Colorado. But anyway everything was good when i went and hit the throttle to plane out and a noise comes like an wizzing noise and the power falls off and the engine rpms rose quickly but engine is...
