Cobalt 302 BOWRIDER bow rider CUDDIE sea RAY chaparral MONTEREY Cruisers YACHTS

You are bidding on a very clean 2008 Cobalt 302 powered by a RARE set of twin Fresh~Water~Cooled Mercruiser 496 Mag's with DTS (Digital Throttle & Shift), and only 390 hours of use. This unit usually comes with 5.7's so it is a real find when you get one this clean with BIG BLOCK'S! Loaded with all the goodies you will need like wet bar, refrigerator, and marine head just to name a few.... This ultimate day and pleasure cruising bow rider will accommodate the entire family, and the neighbors! Cobalt is like the Ferrari of boats, and the luxury and performance is unmatched in her class!!! Jerk the steering wheel at 55+ mph and you will not lose a millisecond of speed... From island hoping to, beach days, and everything in-between this 302 will get you there in style and in comfort.

This is the type of sportboat that Barry Bonds would love. Don't get the connection? This boat is your typical family boat after emerging from the Balco program. Still not getting it? The Cobalt 302 is a bowrider on steroids. With a centerline length of 29'7" and a beam of 9'11", this is a spacious, amenities-packed party monster in runabout form. Cobalt is the most expensive machine in her class, and was not designed for the economy boater looking for the deal. How does Cobalt justify the high sticker? It's all in the details. Many things combine to help this boat fulfill its mission of being a family entertainment center. Start with the large sunlounge atop the engine hatch. It's big enough for two to tan. Its backrest adjusts so people can kick back and look aft while at rest or face forward in the cockpit underway. A beefy stainless-steel rail runs along the entire extended swim platform, providing crunch protection and giving swimmers a place to grab. There's a dedicated stainless-steel grab handle at the boarding ladder.The cockpit lounge is massive, with U-shaped seating that can seat 12 to 14 people. (Feel free to pack 'em in. A boat this big must be yacht certified, so there's no maximum passenger load.) Room for guests isn't an issue, nor is the means to entertain them. Six Sony speakers are placed strategically throughout the boat, and the CD player has a port to accept iPods and other MP3 players. Behind the helm, the galley has a Corian counter, a stainless-steel sink, a cooler, and a stainless-steel grab handle that serves as a fiddle. Stainless-steel cupholders keep cold drinks within arm's reach. My favorite entertainment feature in the cockpit is the dedicated spot under the port seating for the flip-out table. What's that? Basically, the dinette table is hinged. Remove the seat cushion and swivel the hinge and the table flips out and locks in place. There's no assembly or disassembly, nor any fumbling with the table pedestal. It's a simple, effective feature that will make your on-water entertaining that much less of a hassle. The 302 also differs from the competition in its bow cockpit seating. There actually are seats. The arrange-ment makes one of the most comfortable bow seating configurations I've ever seen.

Toy Story

Underway, the boat through turns and S-curves at high speeds, and it always felt safe and predictable. I crossed boat wakes at 40 mph-no rattles, no pounding, no problem. The helm makes it easy on the driver, too. The doublewide captain's seat has a flip-up bolster, a molded-in angled footrest, and an armrest for your throttle arm. All the gauges are clearly visible even if you tilt the wheel. Plus, the dash has a dimmer so you can adjust the backlighting of your gauges for best viewing. A Garmin GPS unit and DTS throttle make this boat pure LUXURY with a feel of a Mercedes S500 when driving.... But as I said before you can step up to a Ferrari type feel when you mash the throttle, and jerk the wheel while sacrificing no performance in handing what-so-ever! How about watersports? The 302 has a built-in air compressor to blow up your tubes as well as two large in-sole stowage lockers to swallow your toys. The hatch in the cockpit opens on twin gas-assisted stainless-steel struts. There's stowage for fishing rods under the hatch. A rubberized mat keeps things from bouncing around, and you can just flip on a light if you can't find something. The second stowage locker resides in the walkway between cockpits-its hatch also has gas-assisted struts. This locker is big enough to store skis and also has a rubberized mat. But two questions arise: Why did Cobalt carpet the locker sides? And where does the collected water drain? I couldn't find a drain on our test boat.

Hot Construct

Of course, the 302 lives up to Cobalt's reputation for high-quality construction. Looking in crevices illustrates this-the hull-to-deck joint is backed with a wooden strip, and all the wiring is loomed and properly supported. Hoses are held in place by screwed-in metal clamps. The engines are mounted onto the stringers and on a cross-support metal beam with through-bolts. This attention to detail carries over into the little things, such as outfitting the anchor locker hatch with a gas-assisted strut and adding a rubberized mat in the locker, or securing the windbreak door with two latch bolts-one vertical, one horizontal-to reduce rattling. Overall, the 302 has the juice to make your day on the water a home run.
