2019 Cobalt R3 Surf

Cobalt Boats has always been at the forefront of innovation, introducing many industry-firsts throughout our company’s history. Innovations began in the 1970s with electric windshield, fiberglass stringers, and aircraft-style switches and circuit breakers at the instrument panel. The 1980s introduced the first extended running surface, now-iconic bow scuff plate with the Condurre Series, and flip-lip seat bolster. In the 1990s there was the electric folding swim platform (of the 272) and the bow scuff plate evolved as standard equipment on all models. In the 2000s the Flip-Down Swim Step became another Cobalt exclusive innovation that reinvented water-borne activities and was awarded a U.S. patent in 2013.

We build boats on the premise that, in all our work in Neodesha, no one job is more important than another. As Cobalt has grown to a company of over 700 associates, we try very hard to perpetuate the genuine sense of family that has characterized our interactions with each other from the beginning. And so again tomorrow, we will do our part to nourish the implicit trust which underpins our relationships with Cobalt dealers, with Cobalt associates and, of course, with the remarkable people who own Cobalt boats. Cobalts come from a place where technology contributes in measurable ways to every component of a Cobalt’s construction, a place where, in ways beyond measure, individual effort and personal integrity have refined the boat-builder’s art for nearly 55 years of ever more sophisticated design.
