2012 Cobalt Boats 302
Engineered perfection will always remain an elusive, if admirable, goal. Please don't tell the 302.
The superlatives tell part of the story -- the largest bowrider inthe Cobalt line, for example, or the most spacious cockpit inits class - and the 302's features add their share to the argument: a sunpad large enough for side-by-side tanning, hugebow seats with new standards for forward comfort, carefullyplaced storage, power options ranging from aggressive tomore aggressive still. Sun protection available via the biminitop, or the fiberglas hardtop with arch.
But perfection is an inclusive term, and little things can meana lot: molded stereo speakers set at precise angles for idealacoustics, an armrest at the throttle, a dimmer for the backlitgauges, gas assists on the ski locker, double latches at the anchor door, water-resistant rubber fillings for the canvas snaps,the wiring loomed and supported everywhere.

Cobalt Boats 302: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Cobalt 302 stands as the largest bow rider in Cobalt's lineup, blending the spaciousness and amenities of a larger vessel with the sleek lines and sporty character expected from a 30-foot boat. It features twin engines and a thoughtfully designed layout that includes a wet bar with a refrigerator and an optional full marine toilet, offering a combination of comfort and performance.
Exterior Design and Deck Features
Measuring 33 feet 7 inches overall with the swim platform and nearly 10 feet wide, the Cobalt 302 offers generous space on deck. The cockpit includes abundant seating starting at the wide helm station, which features a two-person seat with a drink cooler and a backrest that flips forward to create a long lounger for sunbathing. The aft area boasts a large L-shaped settee with a fold-forward seatback that converts into a spacious sun pad. Additional conveniences include a freshwater shower, ample storage compartments, and a large ski locker beneath the walkthrough deck. The bow area is versatile, with a gullwing seatback that reveals a large storage compartment equipped with hangers for life jackets or wetsuits, and filler cushions that transform the bow seating into a traditional U-shaped lounge.
Interior Amenities
The boat discreetly incorporates a head beneath the windshield on the starboard side, offering a roomy space with a sink while maintaining a low profile. The wet bar is a standout feature, equipped with a Corian countertop, sink, refrigerator, and additional storage. Nearby, an insulated cooler with a bi-fold hinge provides easy access to chilled beverages. Storage solutions are integrated throughout the interior, including a flip-out trash bin accessible from the bow walkthrough.
Helm and Instrumentation
The helm console is contoured and accented with black and chrome trim, featuring Lavorsi engine controls and a black leather steering wheel. A standard Garmin chartplotter is centrally positioned for optimal visibility, complemented by tachometers, speed, depth, and trim gauges at eye level. Engine gauges and stereo controls are conveniently located to the lower left, ensuring functionality without cluttering the primary view.
Power and Performance
Powering the Cobalt 302 are twin MerCruiser MX 6.2 engines, each rated at 320 horsepower, paired with Bravo 3 Horizon stern drives. This configuration delivers a top speed near 53 miles per hour, with the test boat reaching 52.9 mph at 5,050 RPM. Cruising is most efficient around 3,000 RPM, achieving 28.5 mph while consuming approximately 1.6 miles per gallon. The boat accelerates swiftly, planing in 4.2 seconds and hitting 30 mph in 6.5 seconds. Despite its size, the 302 maintains a sporty, responsive handling characteristic, including tight turning capabilities.
Engine Access and Maintenance
The design facilitates maintenance with an aft storage compartment that provides access to the front of the engines, complemented by engine access from above via an electric lift hatch. This setup ensures sufficient room for routine service and repairs, enhancing the boat's practicality.
Conclusion
The Cobalt 302 successfully combines the spaciousness and amenities of a larger boat with the performance and handling of a smaller, sportier craft. Its thoughtful design, abundant storage, twin-engine power, and attention to detail make it well suited to accommodate groups seeking both comfort and spirited boating experiences.
