2012 Cobalt 273

The 2012 Cobalt 273 is a 27-foot sports cruiser powered by a Volvo Penta 8.1L big-block V8 engine producing 400 horsepower. The engine runs at only 181 hours and drives the boat to a maximum speed of 49 mph, with a cruising speed of 25 mph at 2500 RPM. Built with a fiberglass hull featuring Kevlar reinforcement and a composite transom, this boat has operated exclusively in freshwater.

The cabin provides overnight accommodations with a forward V-berth that converts to a dinette, along with a main salon cabin featuring a flat-screen television and convertible dinette seating. An electric head serves the interior. On deck, the 273 offers a bow sunpad and an extended folding swim platform with an integrated transom shower and washdown system for easy water access.

Equipment includes a touch-screen GPS chartplotter, a Sony sound system with remotes at the helm and swim platform, and a depth sounder. The boat is fitted with an electric windlass topped with a polished stainless steel anchor, docking lights, and an automatic fire suppression system. Comfort and weather protection come from a full canvas enclosure, bimini top, and tonneau cover. Upgraded sea grass cockpit carpeting runs throughout the deck, and upgraded snap-in matting completes the outdoor spaces. Additional features include a walk-through windshield with a 16-inch starboard wiper, two batteries with a ProMariner ProSport 20 Plus charger, and an integrated air compressor with holder.
