Cobalt 250: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The 2005 Cobalt 250 is a mid-range runabout that balances manageable size, versatility, and luxury. Designed to perform equally well on small rivers, large bays, and near shore waters, this model embodies Cobalt's signature retro styling combined with excellent fit and finish. It offers an impressive array of amenities uncommon in boats of its size, making it a refined and functional platform for a variety of water activities.

Exterior Design and Deck Features

Starting at the bow, the Cobalt 250 is equipped with docking lights to assist in slip navigation and a protective scuff plate. The anchor locker features a gas-assist shock for ease of use and rubber bumpers to minimize noise. The extended swim platform adds length to the boat, measuring 27 feet overall, and includes a large stainless steel rail to prevent dock strikes, as well as a convenient lever-operated swim ladder. Engine vents integrated into the gas cap are crafted from high-grade stainless steel, enhancing durability. The beam-width locker is spacious with dividers and can double as a large cooler, while a pop-up ski post with a drain helps keep the engine area dry.

Cockpit and Helm

The cockpit area is designed for comfort and functionality. Bucket seats at the helm and companion positions swivel and slide, featuring handrails, chart pockets, and flip-up cushions for improved visibility. Behind the seats, an insulated island cooler is easily accessible. The helm itself is sporty with a three-spoke wood steering wheel and a well-organized instrument panel. Toggle switches with individual circuit breakers are positioned to the left, while additional controls, including a stereo remote, digital air and water temperature gauges, a depth gauge, and a 12-volt socket for charging devices, are located to the right. Seating wraps around with lounger backs, providing ample space for guests, and stern benches include cup holders, courtesy lights, and storage compartments beneath.

Interior Amenities and Storage

Despite its size, the Cobalt 250 features a surprisingly generous and functional head compartment, a rarity in boats of this class. The flip-over windshield and bifold door help maintain a comfortable cockpit environment by keeping cool air out. A large in-floor storage compartment offers ample space for water toys and gear, eliminating the need to compromise on what to bring along. Additional storage is found beneath the stern benches and under the sun pad, which lifts easily to access the engine compartment.

Power and Performance

This model is powered by a Volvo 8.1GI stern drive equipped with a PentaDual outdrive and F6 counter-rotating props, which provide excellent acceleration, handling, and reduced cavitation. The big-block engine features electronic fuel injection and electronic controls for responsive throttle response and reliable starting in various weather conditions. The stern drive is designed for efficient low-RPM planning and fuel economy, complemented by a standard active corrosion protection system. On the water, the Cobalt 250 delivers a smooth, dry ride with tight turning capabilities. During testing on an inland lake, it cruised comfortably at 2,500 RPM, reaching 25.4 miles per hour while consuming 7.6 gallons per hour, yielding a range of approximately 221 miles. At full throttle (4,700 RPM), the boat achieved 54.7 miles per hour with a fuel burn of 31.1 gallons per hour.

Dimensions and Specifications

The Cobalt 250 measures 25 feet in length overall, extending to 27 feet with the swim platform. It has a beam of 8 feet 6 inches and a dry weight of 5,000 pounds. Draft measurements are 24 inches with the drive up and 39 inches with the drive down, allowing for versatile operation in various water depths.

Conclusion

The 2005 Cobalt 250 offers a compelling combination of performance, luxury, and versatility. Its thoughtful design, ample storage, and comfortable accommodations make it suitable for a wide range of activities, from casual day cruising to watersports. With smooth handling, efficient power, and refined amenities, the Cobalt 250 stands out as an elegant and practical choice for boaters seeking a mid-sized runabout.
