Cobalt 200, manufactured by Cobalt Boats in the US, is an elite class of high powered, luxury runabout. The Cobalt 200's manufactured between the years 2000 - 2008 are still widely considered one of the best looking and most stylish boats that Cobalt has ever made.[2] This unique bullet like, contemporary, and sporty design makes this hull so timeless it still exceeds the quality and performance of most modern bow-riders of its class to date. The interior of these boats are more like the luxury interior and upholstery you would find on a luxury sports yacht, not a family runabout. The boat itself is bullet proof, withstanding the test of time. Around 20 years on, these boats are still in excellent condition simply because of the quality of the components used on 200. Even the ones that are permanently moored in salt water are still in good condition only proving the quality of these boats.
Cobalt's Unique Deep-Vee 20° Hull Technolagy
[3]The hull on this series is unique, incorporating a Deep-Vee 20° mono plaining hull, proving itself in the high-end luxury market.[4] This particular hull is well known for breaking chop of any size with its Deep-Vee hull. This hull is also superior in ocean conditions up to 2 meters in relatively short wavelength swell, and up to a staggering 6 meters in longer wavelength swell. In terms of how bigger swell this boat can handle, it compares to most small cruisers, making it very desirable in coastal areas.
Although venturing out in large chop and swell might not make for a comfortable ride, it definitely can handle it and will always get you home. This ability to break chop so well and venture through ocean conditions is also thanks to the boats weight being well over 2 ton, quite heavy for a boat of its size.
Cobalt's Kevlar Hull Strengthening
[5]You might wonder how this hull is strong enough for ocean conditions. Cobalt has used a unique process they call ‘Kevlar’. This consists of a Kevlar beam running the full length of the boat up the spine from stern to nose. This dramatically strengthens the hulls spine protecting the fibreglass from impact force into waves at speed.
The Kevlar spine works in partnership with the thicker than normal fibreglass hull. Cobalt boats are renowned for using high end fibreglassing techniques such as lay-on fibreglassing instead of cheaper spray on fibreglassing alternatives. Cobalt's unique process for making hulls is called Spraycore. The thickness and strength of Cobalt hulls are directly comparable to high end cruisers making these one of the most well built, luxury runabouts in the world.
Engine option overview
[6]The engine options available for this boat are not a let down either, boasting a max hull rating of 350HP[7]. Mercruiser and Volvo Penta options are available, although the V8 Mercruisers are better known for their supreme performance and overall torque. Both single and twin counter-rotating sterndrive propellers are used depending on the engine option.
Overall, every Cobalt boat made is a work of art and is always built to extraordinary quality, design, and superior performance in the water. The Cobalt 200’s manufactured between 2000 - 2008 are defiantly a stand out in the luxury boat world and have set the design standards for countless boat manufactures to this day.
Overall hull length: 20' 4" (6.20 m) Length including swim platform: 22' 4" (6.81 m) Overall beam: 8' 6" (2.59 m) Height: 67 1/8" (1.71 m)
