1998 Cobalt 252
1998 Cobalt 252
With a centerline at a full 25 feet, the Cobalt 252 is spacious. Contoured for comfort at full throttle, the bow seats accommodate up to four friends in layabout style. The cockpit of the 252 invites six friends into its wrap-around sport bucket seats and its luxurious curved bench astern. There's ample out-of-the-way stowage of the anchor in a drained, rubber-matted locker, while personal items stash in fully finished compartments under the seats. The ski locker is big enough for kneeboards and other oversize gear. The interior of the Cobalt 252 has a Sony digital sound system with four waterproof speakers. This versatile bowrider has a color-matched convertible top, and options include: a bow cushion insert, tonneau covers for bow and cockpit, side and stern curtains, a premium sound system, a transom shower, captain's call exhausts, rosewood inserts for the dash, a cockpit table, and docking lights. These optional features complement the fundamental strengths of the 252's design and construction. Cobalt's exclusive Hydrolam process - a multifaceted approach to total fiberglass construction - eliminates the extra weight and the inevitable rotting found in wood construction. Here's long-term dependability with no sacrifice of structural strength in one-piece construction of deck surfaces, interior side walls, and a floor reinforced with Nida-Core, a honeycomb synthetic that will quickly prove its superiority to both plywood and balsa. Kevlar does its part too. Applied over the entire length of the 252's keel, strakes, and chines, the Kevlar brings thermal stability together with minimum weight - with no loss of strength - to dampen vibration and make the Cobalt 252 tougher and more durable An integrated stringer system delivers strength, appropriate flexibility and unprecedented resistance to time's toll, thanks to construction standards identical to the hull's and deck's. The 252's finish involves gelcoat and graphics that begin with a mask in the mold. A syntactic polyester foam called SprayCore 2000 brings extra structural strength to the sidewalls and the deck, while blocking print-through characteristics and improving resistance to impact. The exclusive bow scuff plate guards the 252's gelcoat during trailering. Aluminum backing plates are embedded in the fiberglass to anchor all hardware. A hand-stitched, leather-wrapped tilt steering wheel is standard. The extended running surface of the Cobalt 252 means quicker planing, enhanced stability, and tight, firm turns. The fully upholstered dash bears full instrumentation, including a compass and such up-to-the-minute indicators as engine temperature, a second temperature gauge for the water just below, and a gauge for water depth. The front of the flip-lid buckets fold upward for a safe, comfortable high-rise seating option, and an unobstructed view above the windshield. A hanging locker stows jackets and sweaters. The head is bright, airy, fully vente
