Cobalt Boats Forum

If we had the space to store it here I wouldn't even think of putting it in the wet slip. I know that out of cobalt they usually use Eagle so I was making the assumption I could just contact eagle and ask for the trailer that they make for Cobalt for whatever year and model. Ton's of decisions haha ...

I was going to hold off on the trailer. I was planning on waiting a couple years to tow it at first. My first mate has minimal experience so I want her to be really comfortable maneuvering around before throwing launching at her. Do you think it makes a big difference price wise buying it at once? M...

I have nothing against a lightly used boat. I have been looking. I have yet to see a 430 listed anywhere. If there was my dream boat 2-3 years old with less than 150 hours on it I would take it in a second I just haven't see it yet. I have been looking though. The marina actually has an R5 listed th...

I heard that issue on several boat brands not just the cobalt concerning the sea dek.

How does the sea grass clean? I'm pretty much 100% on that my only minor concern was how do they clean up? Or are they just highly repellent?

Very nice!

Nice lake, beautiful are that its in. Really nice marina. Good balance for my use. I like the fact that the dealer is right there if I need something.

I have two color schemes I was thinking of. Been going back and forth with the girlfriend. The first is what you mentioned. Navy side, gray stripe, white tower with gray Bimini. The second is all white, black boot stripe, black tower with black Bimini. Was going to skip the flag and the power hatch....

Currently my main boat of use is in somebody else's driveway so we go to one of the smaller lakes around in western CT and cross the sound to Greenport. When I pick mine up it will be wet slipped at Candlewood Lake in Western CT.

Congratulations on the new boat! This is a great boat, I grew up on one, my father still owns it. Think is pristine other than a few reasonable wear and tear marks. What color? His is red strip with red bimini. Fast no doubt. He has the smaller 320 so he's topping 55-56 currently. For naming I've al...

John I'm with you completely. I'm looking for this to last at least 10-15 years. Like I said there's a size limit at the lake so not really all that much room to go up. Buy what you want and forget about it. 15 years is a long time to wish I'd done something differently. I was talking to the dealer ...

Do you or have you used one? We always just tossed it over. I figured for lake waters we might be using it by the shore or maybe a sand bar no chop to deal with. I know guys like them that have them.

Ive talked to several guys with A25 and all said the same about the tabs. Was planning on going 430 with EVC, trim tabs with the autoglide. My mate has far less experience with boats I'm conditioning her on my father's as much as possible in the interim. I figured along with making the ride smoother...

Thanks John. I suppose there are worse problems to have than choosing between two great looking boats. Any other options you wish you got or you got but don't really use? I know I have a few in mind both ways from my Dad's boat.

I am looking into my first boat. I grew up on one and my father has had cobalts for the last 20 years so I am plenty experienced with boats. I am between the R5 and the A25. I love the design of the A25 and I really like the hydraulic platform. I think the R5 is great as well. Both would be absolute...
