The Cobalt Difference

Image
There is nothing like taking a ride in your beautiful Cobalt boat at the Lake of the Ozarks : the wind in your hair, the sun kissing your skin, and the feeling of pure freedom. It can only be achieved when you're racing across the water in a beautiful Cobalt boat, and can't be compared to anything else. If you're looking to invest in this wonderful adventure, here are a few advantages that Cobalt can bring to the table. Gelcoat Cobalts hulls are 100% gelcoat, with no tape to fade, tear, and age the boat over the years. The graphics on a boat's hull can become outdated very quickly and are detrimental to resale value. Cobalt also uses stainless steel blower vents that can take a beating and don't fade. Plastic ones become brittle with age and crack with any amount of dock rubbing. Over the years plastic ones turn yellow and show stress cracking from the inevitable flexing it takes. Upholstery Cobalt spares no expense when making and designing

Our dock is fully serviced with with food, drinks and tube rentals. Before you enjoy your weekend on the water, here are a few safety tips to remember when filling your gas tank! 1. No matter where you are refueling, always clear the area of people who are not directly involved with fueling the boat. 2. Put out all smoking materials and extinguish all open flames. 3.  Be sure to secure your boat to the dock, and turn off the engine and all electronics. 4. Keep the nozzle in contact with the edge of the fill to prevent build up of static electricity to prevent sparking. 5. Do not top off your tank. Know how much fuel your tank holds and fill it to about 90%, since fuel expands as temperatures rise. 6. Clean up fuel spills immediately with an oil-only absorbent pad. Wipe down the bilge or any interior parts that many have come in contac
