Cobalt CS22 Boats For Sale

The Cobalt CS22 is a compact bowrider built by Cobalt Boats, sold alongside its larger sibling the CS23. It carries an overall length of about 22 feet 4 inches on a standard 8-foot-6-inch beam, which keeps it easy to trailer, launch and load while still opening up a cockpit that runs unusually large for a boat this size. The CS series uses a wave-styled hull with a taller freeboard than earlier Cobalt models, aimed at a more stable ride in rougher lake water. Shoppers looking at a CS22 for sale will find it set up for water sports and day boating, with seating arranged in an open yacht-style wraparound layout.

Power on the CS22 comes from a Volvo Penta V6 with a Duoprop (dual-prop) drive, and engine choices have included the 240-horsepower, 250-horsepower and 280-horsepower V6 across model years. The dual-prop setup gives the boat a strong hole shot for pulling tubes, wakeboarders and skiers. Cobalt fits an EZ drain (quick drain) system for the engine, and the patented flip-down swim step drops roughly eight to ten inches into the water to act as a ladder, making boarding simple for people and pets.

The helm on current CS22 boats centers on a 7-inch Garmin display showing engine vitals and navigation with waypoints, paired with a Fusion head unit with Bluetooth, auxiliary input and AM/FM plus zone audio control. Tactile switching handles navigation, anchor and RGB lighting, and the three-spoke stainless steel wheel tilts. A flip-up bolster lifts the captain higher for visibility, and a wireless phone charger sits in the dash. Volvo DEC controls add trim assist and cruise control. Earlier model years instead used analog gauges with a Rockford Fosgate or JL Audio stereo, an older look that some buyers prefer.

A beam-to-beam sun pad spans the back of the boat, completed by a filler cushion and an integrated flip-up backrest, with a dedicated cooler compartment inset under the port side so the cooler stays off the deck. The transom adds a walk-through so you never step on a seat to board, a stainless ski eye, a deep transom storage trunk and a molded swim platform. Inside the cockpit, flip-flop lounger seats convert between forward- and rear-facing, wraparound combings run the perimeter, and cup holders are tucked down and out of the wind. A folding tower with lockable positions drops to the windshield for storage and can be fitted with tower speakers and wakeboard racks.

Storage is a defining feature of the CS22. The bow holds Gold Wing–style flip-up compartments on each side, a separate anchor locker up front, and deep below-seat lockers, plus a strut-supported in-floor locker amidships for skis and ropes. The bow seats two JBL zone-controllable speakers, and a wind screen closes the bow off from the cockpit for cool-weather days. The engine compartment opens on stainless struts to a wide, accessible bay with easy reach to the batteries, depth-sounder transducer and rigging.

Cobalt's fit and finish shows in the stitched and piped upholstery, stainless steel cleats, rub rail and capped windshield, and the new obsidian-black windshield frame on the CS series. The 2024 model carries an 11-person capacity. When evaluating a used CS22, check the engine hours and horsepower rating, since a well-kept 2020 example can show under 80 hours, and confirm which trailer, tower, cover and audio package are included.
