2016 Cobalt R5 WSS Surf

The 2016 Cobalt R5 WSS Surf is a 26-foot fiberglass ski and wake boat built for both surface performance and wave generation. Powered by a single 430-horsepower Volvo gasoline engine, it combines stern-drive handling with dedicated surf capabilities through a patent-pending control system that automatically adjusts the boat's trim to optimal surf conditions.

The boat features a customizable wake with smooth transitions and a wide push zone, enabled by a twin-propeller setup designed for efficient fuel consumption across the speed range. The stern-drive configuration offers the maneuverability advantages typically found in that system class while maintaining the wake-making power expected from a purpose-built surf platform.
