Cobalt 246: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The 246 Cobalt Bow Rider is a refined sport boat tested on Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. As a step up from the 226 model, it retains many of the same features while offering additional space and amenities. The design reflects a blend of European influence with classic American lines, presenting a modern take on the traditional bow rider with enhanced performance and comfort.

Exterior Design and Deck Features

Measuring 24 feet 4 inches in length with an 8 foot 6 inch beam, the 246 Cobalt features a walk-through transom and a stock swim platform equipped with a molded-in wet locker complete with a drain. An optional removable swim platform is also available. Boarding is facilitated by a ladder, though its location can be somewhat challenging to access in rough conditions. The cockpit seating follows a traditional L-shaped layout, incorporating a wet locker beneath for added storage. The bow seat offers deep storage compartments rather than simple cubby holes, allowing for substantial storage capacity. Cup holders and stereo speakers are discreetly integrated below the seat bolsters.

Interior Living Spaces

A notable feature for a boat of this size is the enclosed head, which, while somewhat compact, remains fully functional and adds a level of convenience uncommon in this class. The helm area is distinguished by a rosewood console accented with gold gauges, lending an air of sophistication. Cobalt’s signature flip-lip seats and adjustable helm provide enhanced driver comfort and improved visibility.

Power and Performance

The 246 Cobalt is powered by a Crusader 6.2 MPI engine delivering 320 horsepower. Access to the engine compartment is facilitated by a full-beam manual hatch supported by gas-assisted cylinders, allowing easy maintenance and inspection. On the water, the boat demonstrated stable handling through turns and impressive speed capabilities. Its optimal cruising speed was recorded at 25.6 miles per hour at 3,000 RPM, yielding an estimated range of 203 miles. At wide-open throttle, the boat reached a top speed of 49.9 miles per hour at nearly 5,000 RPM. The draft with the outdrive down is 2 feet 10 inches, enabling access to relatively shallow waters.

Conclusion

The 246 Cobalt Bow Rider combines stability, performance, and creature comforts typically found in larger vessels. Its thoughtful design and powerful engine make it a compelling option for those seeking a mid-sized sport boat with enhanced amenities and reliable handling. Overall, it represents a significant evolution from traditional bow riders, offering both style and substance.

Rating: 4.2 out of 5
