Cobalt 272: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The 2005 Cobalt 272 is a brand-new model that represents a significant step up from the previous Cobalt 262. It combines expansive seating, European styling, and the luxury craftsmanship typical of Cobalt with a design focus on exhilarating water sports performance. This model is engineered to deliver a smooth ride whether cruising on a calm river or navigating choppy nearshore ocean waters.

Exterior Design and Deck Features

The Cobalt 272 features a spacious and versatile layout, including a sidewalk through design that enhances cockpit space. The bow area is notably larger and wider, equipped with a heavy-duty, flip-over telescoping ladder and a gas-assisted lid on the large bow platform. Seating up front accommodates at least six people, with options to use drop-in fillers for a more open space. Storage is abundant, including a large compartment beneath the helm and a center floor storage area designed to hold skis and other gear. The stern seating wraps from bucket seat to bucket seat, with double-hinged seat bottoms providing additional storage and access to an inflator for water toys. The stern box is insulated and can be divided to serve as a cooler. Stainless steel features are prominent, including a wraparound dock guard that doubles as a grab bar, heavy-duty cleats mounted from underneath to avoid exposed screws, and a wide step swim ladder on the starboard side. The windshield is a flip-over design with a bifold door to protect the cockpit from chilly air.

Interior and Helm Features

The cockpit includes luxurious and functional seating, such as bucket seats with stainless crab rails, chart pockets, swivel capability, flip lip bolsters, and slide adjustments for optimal viewing of the gear. The helm seat is enhanced with lumbar support, reflecting Cobalt's attention to rider comfort. The helm itself is equipped with a three-spoke steering wheel, circuit breakers on the left, and a 12-volt socket for portable devices. Controls include heavy-duty aircraft toggle switches for power and stereo operation, with a remote for the stereo system. Instrumentation features water, air temperature, and depth gauges to the right of the helm.

Power and Performance

Powering the Cobalt 272 is a 496 V8 engine delivering 375 horsepower. The engine hatch is electrically lifted with two rams and heavy-duty hinges for easy access. Maintenance is simplified with features such as a top-mounted oil filter, closed cooling system, and an easy oil drain connection. The water drain system is air-actuated with a single-point drain and includes an air pump. A single serpentine belt drives all engine components, improving reliability. The engine control module uses a Motorola microprocessor to optimize fuel mixture, knock control, and engine timing independently for each cylinder, enhancing performance precision. The boat measures 26 feet 8 inches in length with an 8 feet 6 inches beam, a draft of 22 inches with the drive up and 39 inches with the drive down, and weighs 4,700 pounds. Fuel capacity is 70 gallons.

Performance Metrics

The Cobalt 272 delivers impressive handling and speed, reminiscent of its larger sibling, the 373, especially in turns where it remains firmly planted and smooth. The optimal cruising speed is around 2,500 RPM, achieving 25.9 miles per hour with a fuel consumption of 8.1 gallons per hour, allowing for an estimated range of 201 miles on a full tank. At wide open throttle, the boat reaches 52.2 miles per hour at 4,650 RPM, consuming 29.9 gallons per hour.

Conclusion

The 2005 Cobalt 272 is a well-rounded performance boat that offers luxury, reliability, and ample space for friends and water toys. Its thoughtful design, powerful engine, and smooth handling make it an excellent choice for those who value both comfort and exhilarating boating experiences. Prospective buyers seeking a blend of performance and premium features should consider testing the Cobalt 272.
