The 2005 Cobalt 226 is a premium luxury bowrider that delivers the exceptional quality, timeless styling, and exhilarating performance that have made Cobalt one of the most respected names in recreational boating. Built for families who appreciate superior craftsmanship and a refined on-water experience, the 226 offers the perfect balance of comfort, versatility, and dependable performance for everything from watersports to leisurely cruises.

Measuring 22'8" in overall length with a generous 8'6" beam, the Cobalt 226 offers an expansive cockpit that comfortably accommodates up to 12 passengers. Plush wraparound seating, a spacious open bow, and a generous aft sun pad create multiple gathering areas where family and friends can relax, socialize, and enjoy a full day on the water.

Power comes from a dependable 2005 Volvo Penta 5.7 Gi DP sterndrive engine producing 280 horsepower. With 801 engine hours, this proven fuel-injected V8 continues to provide the smooth acceleration, strong mid-range power, and reliable performance that Volvo Penta is known for. The Dual Prop drive enhances low-speed maneuverability, improves acceleration, and delivers excellent control for docking and watersports.

Built on Cobalt's legendary fiberglass/composite deep-V hull, the 226 delivers an exceptionally smooth, dry ride with outstanding stability and responsive handling. Whether you're crossing open water, towing skiers and tubers, or cruising to your favorite waterfront destination, the hull provides the confidence and comfort expected from a premium Cobalt.

Finished in an elegant Sport Sandstone Graphics color scheme, this Cobalt showcases timeless styling that continues to stand out both at the dock and underway. Premium marine-grade upholstery, polished stainless-steel hardware, and Cobalt's meticulous fit and finish create a luxurious atmosphere throughout the cockpit.

The captain's helm features ergonomic controls, premium instrumentation, and excellent visibility, making every outing enjoyable for boaters of all experience levels. Large storage compartments beneath the seating and in the floor provide plenty of room for life jackets, tow ropes, coolers, and watersports equipment, keeping everything organized for a full day on the lake.

An oversized integrated swim platform with a boarding ladder provides convenient access to the water for swimming, tubing, wakeboarding, and relaxing between adventures. The walk-through transom helps protect the upholstery while making boarding from the swim platform safe and easy.

With a 50-gallon fuel capacity and a dry weight of 3,800 pounds, the Cobalt 226 is perfectly suited for extended days on the water while remaining easy to trailer and launch. Built with the premium craftsmanship and legendary attention to detail that define every Cobalt, this luxury bowrider continues to be one of the most desirable models in its class.
