Turquoise and pink.
As Cole boats as it gets.

I'd love to do a video documentary on Cole and submit it to Current TV.

Ive always liked Cole Boats especially the 22 superhawk.

I was highly envious when my buddy scored one in top shape for about 10K- DAMM howd he get that?

Good news was Ive been able to use it and ride in it for the last decade.

My buddies got a 600hp boostpower in his and it rocks hard especially out of the hole.

That said Jim was notorious for rigging testing with non stock parts and hidden but basic mods to engines and outdrives.

In hot boats test they would ask everyone to use 1 prop for the performance and ski testing and ole Jim never used less than 2. When questioned why there was a 5 blade in the ski round and the top speed test had a 4 blade ole Jim replied that he'd "knock off a blade to even things out".

All that said- we are poorer boating community without the contribution of COLE boats.

Heres a picture of me tied up to it a few years ago at NAci- big fun

22 superhawk looks more (to me) the old Caliber 1 style ski boat, the 22 nighthawk seemed sleeker, more modern, cleaner lines etc.. they both look pretty good, wish I new what happened to the 22 superhawk mold, would love to keep the line up intact...rumors and folktale say it was destroyed?? anyone know??

Did find the old 24 CA Offshore, mold is for sale. I'm considering buying it just for the coolness factor!:D
