The Cobalt Difference

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 The graphics on a boat's hull can become outdated very quickly and are detrimental to resale value.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 their upholstery. The fast and cheap way to make a seat is to take a piece of foam and wrap it with vinyl. Cobalt invests 10x more effort in making their upholstery. Using marine grade stitching material keeps the seams and seats looking brand new even ten years down the road. Cobalt uses a three layer foam system on their boat seats. This keeps them nice and firm providing all day comfort when boating at the Lake of the Ozarks.

Structural Benefits

Cobalt uses stainless steel around it's entire swim platform, which prevents damage when docking and refueling. Cobalt platforms are even with the water, and the ladder-less design makes it easy to get in and out of the boat. If you choose to use the ladder, it is neatly stored under the swim platform. Which keeps the swim deck clutter free and keeps it from getting gross with algae. Cobalt also spends an extensive bit of time designing the hull around the engine compartment. This mechanic friendly design reduces maintenance costs and allows the best boat mechanics at the Lake of the Ozarks to quickly diagnose and fix any problems that may arise. Cobalt engines can be swapped out in 4 hours, whereas other designs can take a week. Our engine mounts are solid steel with a huge amount of support; while other manufacturers use one ram which is prone to stress cracks and a cheap feel.


Anchors

Cobalt spends the extra time to build their anchors into the hull. The cheaper and quicker way is to just stick it on the top deck and let it hang over the rub rail, but by installing it into the hull, it keeps the anchor tucked away. This helps prevent young children from knocking their heads on the anchor while walking around the boat. Another benefit is that it doesn't detract from the beautiful lines of a Cobalt. Lastly, it keeps the boat clean. When the anchor is raised it will bring up mud and algae from the bottom. If it was installed on the top deck, the anchor would bring the mud inside the boat.


Carpeting

Cobalt is the industry leader in regards to high quality carpeting. From sandstone, sea grass, and cesera, Cobalt carpet lasts season after season. The vast majority of other manufacturers use berber carpeting. Berber shows traffic patterns, holds and shows dirt, and lays flat after only one season. Sea grass doesn't show wear, hold water, or even show dirt. It's a small price to pay to keep your new Cobalt looking new ten years down the road.
