2014 Cobalt R5 For Sale

If your vision of a great day on the water involves a good number of friends and family on a boat that will take you anywhere you need to go this 2014 Cobalt R5 bowrider should be on your list for your next boat.

At just a few inches under 26ft. the boat is rated for 14 passengers and features a spacious transom area as well as open aft deck seating. The convertible bench / lounge on the transom is sure to be a popular spot to soak up some rays and as a bonus, you have a separate set of stereo controls on the port side right beside the bench seat.

Cobalt's convertible swim steps that go across most of the stern make getting in and out of the water much easier than a slim swim ladder.

The captain will enjoy a well laid out simple cockpit set-up with a center mounted Garmin 740 GPS / Plotter flanked on either side by a speedometer and tach. It's from here that the captain has full control of the 502cu in / 8.2L big block Mercruiser V-8 that's routing its power through a Mercruiser Bravo Three lower unit with a twin prop set-up.

The passenger seat is roomy and has a glove box to store sunglasses, sunscreen as well as allows you to charge mobile devices with built-in USB charging ports.

The dual chaise style seats will allow passengers to enjoy the breeze to its fullest as your piloting this 2014 Cobalt R5 down your favorite lake or river. The starboard side chaise also lifts up for even more compartment storage in addition to the in-floor ski locker nicely tucked in the walk thru area of the windshield.

The boat has been well kept and is in good condition overall.

The upholstery shows no signs of excessive wear or sun fading. This is likely due to the two-piece mooring cover, which is also in good condition with no rips or tears, providing protection.

I did not open the sealed container that has the snap-in carpet for the boat, but the owner assured me it is in similar condition to the rest of the boat.

All storage areas were clean and free of water and all doors, latches and locks were working as expected.

The engine bay is very clean and surprisingly spacious for the size of the boat. It affords easy access to all of the areas you'd need to get to for basic maintenance and upkeep.

Please note the nickel size nick in the gel coat that is located on the rear starboard flank. There is no cracking around the area and it would seem as though it could be filled, sanded and buffed with minimum effort. It is well above the waterline, so there are no concerns in that regard.

If you're looking for a slightly larger bowrider than most that has plenty of power to get you where you need to go as well as pull multiple skiers or boarders this 2014 Cobalt R5 will not disappoint.
