1999 Cobalt 226

, This 1999 Cobalt 226, has found a way to deliver a significantly larger activity platform along with the bow area of the next largest Cobalt, in a 22-footer. The 226 puts its extra space and amenities in the location where they can maximize boating enjoyment. A wet locker waits on the activity platform for returning skiers and little swimmers, as does a wrap-around lounge with filler cushions for the walk-through transom. A concealed boarding ladder makes re-entry safe, quick, and easy. A Kevlar-reinforced hull, a composite transom, and an all-fiberglass stringer system give the Cobalt 226 an unbeatable combination of strength, performance, and resistance to corrosion. Aluminum backing plates for all hardware are embedded in the fiberglass. Next comes a Kevlar - E-glass hybrid, applied over critical areas for impact resistance ten times greater than conventional fiberglass at less than half the weight. The motor mounts and stringers - an all-fiberglass, integrally reinforced system - suppress vibration and noise. Of course, Cobalt's extended running surface is here, but with a reversed chine deflecting water downward. The effect: the 226 runs drier and handles better in turns. Trailer Not Included
