2006 Cobalt 263
Fresh water only! 220 hours! Looks in this case do not deceive. Give credit to the Venetian subtlety of the 263’s lines, to the unabashed aggression of the power humps forward, Volvo Penta 380 HP. And because the 263 is first, last, and always a Cobalt, the going fast is simultaneously going good. In the cabin, directly in front of the dash, stands a very large cedar-lined locker. A large settee sweeps around the bow, with filler cushions (stored in the sidewall) ready to replace the center table. A lower galley with a single-burner stove and a sink is both efficient and easy to use. The 263’s headroom must be felt to be believed, and new colors and fabrics throughout amplify the spacious feel of the cabin. Configured around an L-lounge, the cockpit is roomy and comfortable. The helm seating is double-wide, set next to a widened walkway. The cleverly concealed Porta Potti hides in the cabin below. With a walk-thru transom door, the activity platform has become an intrinsic part of the floor plan. A wet locker waits there in an extra measure of accessibility and convenience.
2004 Cobalt 263
The Cobalt 263 is the yacht-certified cuddy companion to the 262 bowrider. The stringer system is all-fiberglass construction, as is the cockpit?s liner deck. The transom has been fashioned of composite materials, and the hull has been reinforced with Kevlar. In the cabin, directly in front of the dash, stands a very large cedar-lined locker. A large settee will sweep around the bow, with filler cushions (stored in the sidewall) ready to replace the center table. The effect: a six-foot U-shaped couch, in the manner of a big, big bowrider. The 263 has exceptional headroom, and a lower galley with a single-burner stove and a sink is both efficient and easy to use.
