Both are very nice boats. I assume you've looked at the prices. If so, I'd go with the Cobalt every time. Nothing wrong with the Chap at all, but the Cobalts have finish and touches that are pretty astounding. (price can be astounding as well)
Since you have dealers on the lake, April/May is an excellent time to test them out on the water. You may even be able to find a good deal on a holdover. A great time to do any boat trial is when it's very rough. You'll be able to whittle down your choices pretty quick then
PS: Under these spring conditions, you may decide the bowrider isn't the best choice, who knows?
