Cobalt 373 (2010-)

Brief Summary

Cobalt Boats says their 373 cruiser, the largest in the company’s stable, is “beauty matching brawn bow to stern.” OK, marketing folks have never been known for understatement, but this is an express cruiser, one of a class of yacht often criticized for ho-hum engineering and construction. Typically, express boats are used in sheltered waters under friendly summer skies – they don’t have to be built like icebreakers, and most are not. But is Cobalt different? Have the folks there gone over the top in hype, or is this boat really something special under its sleek fiberglass skin?
