2006 Cobalt 220 with Trailer 24' LOA w/ Swim Platform.

Description

According to a Cobalt spokesman, the design team, including a naval architect, had one directive for this boat,"No compromises." The result - a stunning example of the best of contemporary boat-building artistry.
Cobalt's signature seven layers of hand laid fiberglass plus all-fiberglass stringers and honeycomb Nida-Core floors, provide the weight and the quiet. However, hull thickness alone does not explain the Cobalt's easy ride. Walk up to the front of a 220 and you'll be struck by the narrow angle of the bow. This boat doesn't chest its way through the waves like many of its wide-prowed competitors, it carves - reducing both the physical pounding and the noisy slap.

A sharper bow does nothing to detract from the boat's other performance attributes. The rest of Cobalt's extended running surface hull combines a wide beam sitting on a deep-V with functional bottom strakes and reverse chines. Lunging on to plane with little bow rise, the boat's acceleration, speed and handling never fail to please. Crank the wheel at speed and the 220 banks like a fighter plane, on track and skate-free.
Performance notwithstanding, a luxury boat means luxury features and the 220 exudes quality and style. Classy, oh-so nautical, dark blue side treatment. The gelcoat has a gleam of its own. The upholstery is lush and beautifully sewn.
Check the details, starting at the stem with a polished stainless scuff plate protecting the hull behind the bow eye. The eye is flanked by flush-mounted halogen docking lights. There are fender storage pockets at either side of the windshield,. Below that there's a folding door to block a chilly breeze from the bow area. Generously-sized helm seats incorporate flip-up bolsters and offer a wide range of adjustment The dash, done up in stitched upholstery and real wood grain, features stainless steel toggle switches set in powder coated aluminum panels. Every hinged storage door lifts easily and stays in place courtesy of a gas-assist cylinder. Every through-bolted hardware piece has an aluminum backing plate.

The Bimini top is supported on heavy-wall stainless tubing. When reefed down by Cobalt's innovative threaded front stays, it's as rigid as a welded frame. The stern, from the 18-inch wide base on the full-width bench to the "waterfall" transom that cascades to a huge swim platform, is a marvel of comfort and convenience. The waterfall design eliminated the place for a ski tow so Cobalt designers created a pop-up pylon that hides in the deck - a patent is pending.

Obtaining a Cobalt is a costly enterprise, begging the question: "Is it worth it?" Just ask a person who owns one...
