The Mission The mission for "bay boats" is, well, for fishing in bays and generally protected, or skinny water. That's why they are called "bay boats." They are a great way for an angler to get out on the water at an affordable price. Add to that a 15-degree deadrise and a 150-hp engine and you will have a boat that will go fast enough for most any angler. The boat draws 13" (32 cm) with the outboard engine up. Distinguishing Features As you can see from the photos on this page, Cobia has put a lot of thought into its re-design for 2012. The builder has taken a close look at its competition and incorporated the best ideas found elsewhere plus adding a few of its own -- Deeper cockpit forward. Cobia has tried to add a feeling of added security in the bow casting area by slightly raising the bulwarks. More usable space. By carefully calibrating the necessary size of the center console and not making it too large, Cobia has been able to re-distribute several inches both forward and aft for a bit more walk-around room. By making the jump seats fold-down, a large casting platform has been created aft. A big foredeck and casting location choices. The redesigned bow allows an angler to cast from any one of three heights: standing on the bow and the anchor locker hatch, standing on the platform across the front of the cockpit on the side locker hatches, and from the cockpit sole itself. Better storage and more. By nestling the rod storage to the inside of the hull sides and providing protective tubes for 7' rods, lots of other space is left for other gear in the port and starboard lockers in the bow. This, together with the other storage forward, storage in the console, and more storage under the two jump seats, it is hard to think of a space that has not been utilized in the 21 Bay. Construction and Design When we compare the Cobia 21 Bay to several other boats in class we find that she has similar characteristics. She is not the lightest nor the heaviest in class. The builder prides itself on engineering the 21 Bay "smart", that is to say, light as possible most places, but very strong in key stress areas. We're told that no wood goes into the boat and that bi-axial fiberglass is used in its hand lay-up building process. All hardware aboard is 316 stainless and the boat has a ss rub rail, something we like to see. The boat has a self-draining cockpit.
