2026 Cobia 285 Open Center Console

The 2026 Cobia 285 Open Center Console is a 28-foot fiberglass fishing boat built for families and tournament anglers alike. Powered by twin Yamaha F300XSB2 outboards, it delivers up to 700 horsepower to reach fishing grounds quickly. The design prioritizes open deck space with full walk-up access to the bow and stern, supported by a matte black hardtop with integrated frame and glass windshield.

Fishing features include two insulated cockpit fish boxes with macerated overboard drains, kite rod holders, and optional deep-drop capability with reinforced gunnel boards and electric reel outlets. The helm accommodates dual 16-inch Garmin GPSMAP screens with the 1643xsv configuration, along with dedicated rod storage on the leaning post and a premium helm seat with tackle center and sliding cooler. An 8-speaker JL Audio system is positioned throughout the boat, with additional speakers integrated into the hardtop.

Standard equipment includes a deluxe windlass with chain, rope, and stainless steel anchor; digital electric steering; trim tabs with indicator; faux teak decking in grey and black; a boarding ladder; and blue underwater lights. The boat carries four 31-series batteries and features trolling motor prep for additional power options. Navigation is handled by twin Garmin transducers (GT56UHD and GT17M) with VHF 215 radio mounted to the hardtop.
