Production model

R Series

Built by Cobalt

The core premium bowriders and the heart of the brand, in sterndrive form across a range of sizes.

Cobalt build in Neodesha, Kansas and are generally regarded as the best-finished production runabouts made in America. They are expensive new and hold their value unusually well, so a used one is rarely cheap and rarely rough.
