2018年4月4日 · The Boating Forum - Cobalt A25 vs R7 - I purchased my first boat last season, a Cobalt A25. It's a great boat, top notch in everything. Unfortunately, there was a problem with the wiring from the factory where the stereo would drain the battery even though the battery switch was turned to off. I was only able to put

2015年2月24日 · I can't speak about the A25 but I did purchase a 2011 Cobalt 262 WSS about 6 months ago with 39 hours on it...I picked it up in Oklahoma and brought it back to Calif. Great ride, performance and quality with a Cobalt. I came from a Sea Ray background and have many friends with Chaparrals, IMHO Cobalt makes the finest 22-30 bowriders.

Edit - I now own a Cobalt 210 and am a part of www.cobaltchat.com (a Cobalt boat forum), and get the sense that most Cobalts are in the 21-28 foot range while most Formula boats are in the 30-something foot range. I echo the thoughts of many here in that a 10 year old Cobalt simply looks newer than most other 10 year old boats.

There are a few A25's and A28's on the lake (Lake Anna). IMO the prettiest BR's out there - not to mention they have a hydraulic swim platform. However, the A25 is the same width (8.5') only a foot longer that my boat, so the ride just isn't going to be much better - …

2017年7月23日 · Depends who you ask. If you ask a cobalt owner then the answer is cobalt is worth every penny and the best quality out there. The regal owner will tell you that they enjoy their regal just as much at a discounted price to the cobalt and that the difference in finish is not worth the price difference. I own a Cobalt so here is my take.

2013年12月9日 · I certainly will not disparage Cobalt boats but, from a quality standpoint, Regal is every bit as good and, in some cases better. As for customer satisfaction, Regal has earned 6 J.D. Powers awards (over all it's competitors including Cobalt) in the past 4 years and 24 CSI awards from the NMMA in the last 6 years.

Cobalt even has brand-recognition among non-boaters, and my experience is that they depreciate at about the same rate as a Toyota Tacoma 4WD, and it makes little sense to buy one less than 5 years old. With price increases, a 5-year-old Cobalt sells for close to what it originally sold for. It's an expensive club to join, though.

2018年7月23日 · Cobalt's build quality has certainly been good at least since 1999. I don't think you have much to be concerned with. In a 1999 model Cobalt, I don't imagine there would be excessive use of wood. Wood used in seat cores and side panels can cause problems in any boat after a long time. Structural wood (in a good quality boat) should be less of a ...

2017年6月4日 · The important things, if you keep the boat in salt water year round, get it bottom painted, then budget for a lift and bottom clean mid season to check and change anodes as necessary, check bellows and you´re good to go, Cobalt is a very high end brand, you should be fine, just make sure you like the dealer and they will stand behind their ...
