    Very nice purchase, greyno. I did not want to give my opinon early, because I sort of biased towards COLE's. (Welcome to the family) That is a beautiful boat, as most COLE's are. Have fun with it!!

    I had a 22.4 Cole Skier and loved the boat. Ran great, & a fast hull also.
    Very clean boat you bought, I think you got a great deal.
    Congrats.

    That looks like a rushin cruise missle. Probably hits mach 3 huh?
    I was told to get a GPS. What is it?
    I'm am not in any of you guy's tax bracket. I 'm so poor, but my whole life savings was in this Nighthawk deal. To me: It's like buying a Hemi-Cuda and I can still drive it.
    Is there a good book for the 502Mpi and the Bravo I drive?

    GPS stands for Global Positioning System. They make hand held ones that will tell you where you are at anywhere in the world. They work off sattelites. the cool part is they can tell you how fast you are going, very accurate. they make GPS speedometers too for boats. It's like a very high tech compass.

    RR your boat looks way bad ASS, what have you got it up to (MPH). Iam going to put another 20' together but in a hard deck like yours, mine is getting a bit beatup its a 94 and i use it hard.
    Well, I bought the Cole Nighthawk!!! Good deal Greyno3. You will def, like it, some say it will beat you up in the chop, well all i can say is, on sunday Memorial Day weekend in Havasu, we were up in the river hangin out then we started to go back so we could get the boat off the water and go eat, when we kept seeing 28' 30' VEE's and 28' deck boats Cats, going back up river, I knew it was a bit windy but didn't think it was that bad..............Till we got on the lake. 45mph winds, 3'+if not 4' waves not chop Iam talking waves, now i see why thouse boats were going back up river, they were going to a ramp up river to get there boats out of the water. well we all ready started going so there was know turnning back. (now last year there were 18 or 27 boats sank in the same water, same thing happened 3' waves) any way I had a 150' rope ready with a ball on one end and clip on other, cuz i thought we wernt going to make it, Lakes only 50/60' deep any way so i know ill get the boat back, (on weekends i work with my friend and iam one of his divers for his boat towing and recovery bis, on the river and Havasu.) any way this boat at times was 6 to 7' in the air no BS 6/7' we could not go slow cuz the boat would tak on 2' high waves would go over the bow, one went over the windshield hit my wife and took her almost out of her seat well she came out but I had 5 people 3 in the back her and i in front so they pushed her back, after that i got on the gas 25 to 35 a one point we were at 40 mph. I know some will say (yah right) well I do have a GPS on the dash and 5 witnesses and they could not belive we were going that fast, but it was all i could do to stay on top of it. well we did make it at my Daughters boy friend expense, he was in the center of the two girls and had to keep his back in front of the Injector so water wouldn't get in.
    When i got home we took the boat off trailer checked the bottom, could not belive no cracks, then we went through the motor Because a lot of times i couldn't get off the gas, I have a 6800 rev-limiter and it hit it a lot.
    Well bottom line the boat was ok so i think yours should last you a long time

    John don't take me the wrong way Cole brother. Mine was a bit rougher than the Velocity22 I had before buying the Cole. I did take the Cole through some stuff that would rattle your fillings, and never once worried about the integrity of the build. I am also looking at a 20 hard deck, not sure if I will pull the trigger on it or keep looking for an open bow.
