2024 Cobalt R8 Outboard

The 2024 Cobalt R8 Outboard is a 28-foot fiberglass bowrider built on a solid 8.5-foot beam, powered by a single Mercury V10 400-horsepower outboard engine. The boat combines open day-cruising capability with thoughtful cabin amenities and modern electronics for both comfort and navigation.

The helm features a dual Garmin 8610 glass cockpit setup and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. The cabin includes a head with electric porcelain toilet and macerator, a sink in the head compartment, and a dinette table with cushion and sunpad receptacle. A sport tower with integrated sunshade and boarding ladder on the port side support active water use, while a ski tow pylon is fitted for towing.

Equipment throughout reflects attention to detail: trim tabs with indicators, windlass with all-chain anchor system, Harmon Kardon audio with tower speakers, RGB interior and underwater lighting, LED storage compartment lighting, a wireless phone charger, rod holders along the gunwale, transom swim platform lighting, and an integrated air compressor. The boat includes tonneau covers for both bow and cockpit, a tool kit, battery maintainer, and stainless steel foot tread at the helm. Sea grass floor covering and satin black Cobalt lettering complete the finished appearance.
