Genetics predispose, we suppose. In inborne attitudes that call for optimism, that support your sense of the possible. Much like your boat which, in the case of the Cobalt 242, means identifying characteristics almost fifty years in the making. Ride and performance and good looks that gather from all the expected Cobalt DNA. Look here at the wide bow walk-thru doors, the striking elegance of the cockpit, the immediate and absolute control at the helm, the wraparound welcome for three times today's guest list, the extended and now laddered swim platform with an optional lighting system, an evolutionary porta-potti, an aft sunpad with adjustable backrest. All the components of an ideal day on the water with not an inch of unused space.

Amid and all around the mirth of the moment, you'll in your 242 find a deep-down dependability. It's the Cobalt family way.
