Not many Cobalts in Southern California!

Post by ocurtis »

is it just me, or do cobalts spend to spend most of there time in the midwest? I am considering upgrading and I cannot find a cobalt near me to save my life! for that matter, not many other bowriders in the 25-28' size here in southern california.

Seattle is a very strong cobalt area. Your cost to outboard country. And cobalt is not known for them. It's coming. Now go to lake Tahoe and that's a diff story. Cobalts all over.

there are lots of ourboards, and when you get into the 30-31 foot length I see lots of Sea rays (which look badass BTW)

really need a bigger boat for the pacific!

Some areas are more conducive to bow riders. South Louisiana is not. This is fishing country witch means outboards and center consoles.

Go up to Tahoe. Seems like every other boat is a Cobalt.
