Cobalt Boats Forum

I should probably mention there is a 253 available that has the camper, stove, sink, AC/Heat. That's why I was asking.

Hey! Welcome to the forum. I own a 2005 263 and its the perfect weekend boat. We have stayed many long weekends on it very comfortably. If you staying in a marina battery life wont be an issue if you can plug in. The boat doesn't have shore power so just install a quality marine 2 bank battery ...

So glad you found us PB1.

The 253 is a nice craft for sure. You may want to jump up to the 2000 and later 262/263 models. I believe wood transoms were the norm before that verses all fiberglass/composite construction after.

And welcome aboard mate.

Thanks! I'll check those out.

Looking at something in the 25 ft range and a 253 popped up that looks great, but have a few questions.

I'm very interested in this model as it seems trailerable, and is JUST big enough to use for a weekend cruising the islands, marinas on the St Lawrence.

My wife and I are comfortable back woods ...
