Cobalt Boats introduces its R8 Outboard, featuring the clean lines, superb performance and deluxe appointments found in the sterndrive R8. The R8 Outboard offers the same 27’ 10” length and 8’ 6” beam with greater fuel capacity for its powerful outboard Yamaha or Mercury engines.

Boasting a deep cockpit with ample freeboard and a spacious interior, the R8 Outboard is Yacht Certified. Standard amenities include a wealth of storage space, a choice of either dual 7” or dual 10” Garmin displays, a swim platform with a folding step, and a selection of distinctive, extra-tall fixed or powered folding towers equipped with an optional sunshade. Interior options range from a removable hard- or soft-sided cooler and hidden RGB accent lighting to a powered helm seat, a galley, a phone holder with wireless charging, and four USB 12-volt chargers. Satellite radio and other audio sources are delivered by up to 14 speakers and 2 subwoofers, for a soundtrack that matches the array of new exterior and interior color options.

Cobalt signature touches abound, with ‘Fresco Chill’ upholstery to reduce temperatures by up to 20° on dark surfaces; new Sof-Trac colors and patterns in the cockpit, on the gunwales, on the swim platform and in the head; bow and aft shade sails; accent wood trim; and plenty of beverage holders.

These features, and many more, make the new R8 Outboard truly the next generation outboard!
