Cobalt R5 poor design
11,839 people have read this post! Seems to me cobalt and the dealer made a huge mistake when they decided to ignore my cries for help. I cannot say anything good about cobalt boats except that they...

Cobalt poor design
It’s true the dealer suggested a few options and put me in touch with a rep who told me they can build the boat anyway they want, the coast guard safety division and the insurance company’s will...

Cobalts poor design
Yup that’s the boat. I could trade it and I would but I’d have to take a major hit. I’d lose $10k on my trade and pay $10k more for the new boat plus pay someone to install an after market Bimini!...

Cobalt poor design
Just checked out the cobalt 26SD, totally different hull than the R5. The Bimini hardware is probably mounted differently. Believe me if your Bimini was mounted out beyond your rub rail you’d know it...

Poor design
You're right, not a good idea to be on the swim platform while backing into your slip. I agree, however the platform is huge and basically the only way you can get in without wrecking the boat. If...
