Designed for the wide-open, all-out adrenaline junky in all of us, the refined and versatile Water Sport Series is fully prepared for you and your demands of large, predictable wakes. Wakes that bring out the passion for flight, wakes that live inside every water sports enthusiast.

The Cobalt R5 is a top-tier bowrider from a company whose reputation for quality is well known throughout the marine industry. Cobalt boats are known for their luxurious appointments as much as their styling and performance.

The R5 rides on a Kevlar-reinforced hull, which provides impressive strength and

rigidity. Note that the 8'6" beam of the Cobalt R5 means that she is fully trailerable (although this boat does not include a trailer with the sale) a good many 27-footers are not. The interior layout features a double-wide seat forward of the port console

with an adjustable backrest that lets passengers face forward or backwards. To the starboard side is a small jump seat.

A small head/change compartment is in the port console. Further aft, there’s a rumble seat on the swim platform where the cushion in the sun pad flips up to create a backrest. Finally, the R5’s swim platform features an innovative swim step that swings up, out, and down to create a nifty underwater platform.

Manufacturer Provided Description

Until now, other surf boats have compromised ride, comfort and performance. That is until now. We have combined our award winning, smooth ride and the performance advantages of a stern drive with the enormous wake-making capabilities of a surf boat. Let us introduce the Cobalt R5 WSS Surf. The WSS Surf features a patent-pending surf control system – which automatically tunes the boat’s attitude to the optimal surf configuration. The WSS Surf combines all the advantages of a stern drive coupled with the wake-making capabilities of a forward drive. The wake out back is fully customizable providing smooth transitions and a wide push zone. You can thank our twin propeller system and fuel-efficient gear ratios that provide better fuel economy, even at top speeds.
