The Cobalt R4 Overview

Cobalt boats has led the industry of bowriders for many years. When families seek a luxurious bowrider, a Cobalt is the first thing to come to mind. While the entire Cobalt lineup is worth acknowledging, today, we’re going to focus on the R4 model that many families love. 

The R4 is the smallest model in the R Series at 24 ft. And 3 in. Being the smallest, it wins the hearts of many families who aren’t looking for a monster of a boat. But instead, a boat that is built with the same care and design as these larger boats while still being the perfect size boat for an inland lake or other small waterways.  

Now, let’s discuss what makes the R4 stand out against competition. 

Motor Choices 

Since this boat is a part of the R series, you have a few options when it comes to how your boat is powered. You can choose between a sterndrive, a forward-facing sterndrive, or an outboard motor.  

Sterndrive Motor 

Many families choose the traditional bowrider sterndrive motor for their R4. This motor choice is perfect for families who enjoy cruising and maybe the occasional long-line water sport. 

For boaters who care more about the scenery than water sports, a sterndrive R4 might be the perfect boat.  

Forward-Facing Sterndrive Motor 

Families who would like to spend more time behind the boat than cruising, this motor choice would be ideal. With the forward-facing sterndrive motor, you are able to safely wake surf.  

Not any other motor allows you to do this. So, if wake surfing is a popular sport in your family, this R4 is going to be the best option. Check out this unique motor if you’re interested. 

Outboard 

The outboard motor choice is another great option. This option is for families less interested in water sports and more interested in cruising around and taking hot laps. This is because outboards provide a high level of performance for these bowrider boats. 

Features 

Along with the option to pick which motor is on your R4, there are several standard and upgradable options. These features are what make your boat the top of the line in its class.
