200 S gone from lineup?
I was just looking at the Cobalt site and noticed that the 200 S is gone. I wonder if the 220 is next on the hit list? Will the CS line be expanded? Inquiring minds want to know!!

Doesn't surprise me. 200 isn't their market. I like the size of my 220 vs the new ones. That's just me.

Re: 200 S gone from lineup?
I like my 210, but never loved the 200 or 220 (I went in to buy a 220 but bought a 210). I suspect they’ll keep something just over 20’ for people like me who just don’t want a bigger boat.

I imagine they phase out the 220 as well. Last I checked neither the 200 or 220 got the FWD drive like their CS cousins.

Re: 200 S gone from lineup?
They are at the end of an old series, probably due for a refresh. Wouldn’t be surprised if they came out with something a bit different to replace them. Or maybe just even stick with outboards for now.
I think Cobalt sells a lot of R5, R3, etc, and the small boats aren’t the big volume leaders like a Mercedes C class or BMW 3 series, but it would be good to keep something in a smaller size in the lineup.

Yep I like the CS series better but I don't like the sun deck as much. I'm good with what I have for now. It held its own this weekend.

The smaller boats 20’ and under are usually entry level for new boaters. That’s why you see 17-21’ Bayliners everywhere. Not a lot of entry level boaters looking to spend $90k on a 20’ boat.

An optioned-out 210 with a nice trailer stickered for $80k, and sold for a significant discount from that. I would have bought a Bryant, Regal, or some such thing if Cobalt wasn't available, not a bigger Cobalt. It just depends on whether they want people like me who don't have a lake place or a slip as customers.

Really I could have gotten a new Bayliner for that. Man did I screw up.

I’m sure the Bayliner forum would agree with you....although your username may be brokeblockpower over there.

I don't think so brutha. The biggest you can get in your 22 footer is a 4.5L small block topping out at a whopping 250hp. Plus I'm not seeing any dreamsicle options. Your new name over there will be Noblockpower.

Ya, I don't see you jumpin' ship to Bayliner just yet....not while Cobalt still has a 22 footer with a 350 horse Merc wrapped in your dreamsicle envy.
