The cockpit is wide with an equally wide windshield and a Captain's chair with helm controls. The center cockpit bridges the extension to the bow. The bow seating is unique and also houses the cabin room with the head.
There is a pull-up ski pylon at the rear of the aft sun pad, a unique stainless steel side entrance step, and all with the Cobalt features of value that boaters find to make Cobalt their favorite as in the hull design that creates stability and smooth rides even over waves.

Overview
The Cobalt 24SX is a distinctive vessel that redefines the traditional bow rider category by blending the refined fit and finish typical of Cobalt boats with the practical amenities commonly found in deck boats. At nearly 24 feet in length, this model offers a unique combination of performance, comfort, and versatility, making it suitable for customers seeking both luxury and functionality in a sport boat.
Exterior Design and Deck Features
The 24SX features a 20-degree dead rise hull and a bow design engineered to provide a smooth and stable ride that stands out in its class. The bow area includes stainless steel grab rails, cup holders, and speakers on each side, complemented by a flip-over windshield and a baffle bottom panel that helps keep cool air out of the cockpit. A notable exterior feature is the expansive swim platform, which offers over 30 square feet of sun pad space and is surrounded by a heavy-duty stainless steel rail for protection against dock strikes. The platform incorporates a dive-style ladder with a release lever and an anchor locker. Two steps provide easy access between the swim platform and cockpit, while a heavy-duty ski tow post locks securely into position for water sports.
Interior Living Spaces and Amenities
Inside, the 24SX surprises with a spacious and well-appointed cockpit. The helm is centrally located and accented with real wood trim reminiscent of luxury automobiles. The seating arrangement includes a flip-flop bolster for stand-up driving, wraparound stern seating extending from starboard to port-side walk-through, and a port-side bench that converts the companion seat into a large lounger with insulated storage beneath. The cockpit is equipped with seven stainless steel cup holders, a removable trash bin, and a stereo system housed conveniently in the glove box. One of the most unprecedented features is the full changing room located under the helm, which includes a bench and an optional port-a-potty, providing privacy and convenience rarely found in boats of this size.
Power and Performance
The 24SX is powered by a robust 496 V8 engine delivering 425 horsepower. The engine compartment is designed for ease of maintenance, with components such as the oil filter positioned on top and a single serpentine belt driving all accessories. The closed cooling system is standard, and the engine control module utilizes a Motorola microprocessor to independently optimize fuel mixture, knock control, and ignition timing for each cylinder, ensuring precise and efficient performance. On the water, the boat cruises most economically at 2,500 RPM, achieving 25.7 miles per hour with a fuel consumption of approximately 8 gallons per hour, resulting in a range of 145 miles on a full 50-gallon fuel tank. At wide open throttle, the 24SX reaches an exhilarating top speed of 56.4 miles per hour at 5,000 RPM.
Dimensions and Capacities
Measuring 23 feet 9 inches in length with an 8 feet 6 inches beam, the 24SX has a draft of 18.25 inches with the drive up and 37 inches with it down. It carries 50 gallons of fuel and includes a 10-gallon fresh water capacity, supporting extended outings with ample onboard resources.
Conclusion
The Cobalt 24SX stands out as a versatile and luxurious bow rider that incorporates the best features of deck boats and sport boats alike. Its combination of thoughtful design, premium amenities, and powerful performance makes it an appealing choice for those who desire a boat that delivers both comfort and excitement on the water.
