At 6.8m long, the boatbuilder said the 210 is packed with the same engineering, design, thought and planning as all the other models in the Cobalt range.

Perfect for entry-level boaters and the experienced enthusiast alike, Cobalt said the 210 is highly finished and completely handcrafted like no other boat in its class.

Cobalt said that every important safety feature available is included in the 210, including a deep cockpit to keep passengers safely tucked inside while underway; an extended swim platform that allows for easy entry and exit for swimmers; and, a Kevlar reinforced hull that keeps you riding smoothly and safely across the waves.

The performance tuned hull allows a tighter turning radius that is perfect for skiing or tubing, said Cobalt, adding that the handcrafted hull coupled with a selection of MerCruiser power, produce top speed and acceleration. The 210, it said, reaches plane in seconds and glides across the water comfortably and quickly in all conditions.

The 210 can carry 12 passengers plus gear, has a six-speaker stereo system with MP3 while the high-backed captain's chairs are comfortable for both driving or just hanging out, said Cobalt.

Smaller boats are definitely more economical, but don't think that you will have any less fun zooming around in the Cobalt 210, said the company. Efficiently pulling a skier or kids tubing, the 210 can do it with far better fuel mileage and give hours more fun for the same amount of money, said Cobalt.

Cobalt said its boats are very dependable and come with a 10-year transferable protection plan which guarantees many years of pleasure from the 210 and amazing resale value when the time comes to step-up to the next model.
