Default Cobalt Goes Pontoon!

Looks like Cobalt boats is jumping in the pontoon ring with their "Marker One" line of tri-toons! You can bet they won't be inexpensive!!

That looks like a giant step forward for the pontoon boat industry!

How is it a step forward? It is similar to many pontoon boats, including mine. I will say that I do like the underwater step.

Kind of looks a little like a deck boat with toons.Also,I didn't look it up but I would guess these would be much heavier than aluminum skirted walls.They sure didn't show any performance speed in that video.

Default Look, it's a bird, it's a plane! No, it's just a pontoon raft.

I am sure it is heavier which explains why there is a 250hp pushing that bad boy. If you going to wrap your ass in fiberglass you may as well go the whole way and buy a boat rather than a pontoon raft.

I like the interior quite a bit, but the exterior design doesn't do much for me. The Crest Savannah looks a little more refined from the outside, and the price at $100k+ with a motor just doesn't fit my idea of a pontoon.
