2006 Cobalt 323Sold

Step aboard and the first thing you notice is how solid everything feels—high freeboard, deep cockpit, and that trademark Cobalt fit and finish. The helm is laid out for a captain who actually runs the boat, with clear sightlines and beefy throttles right where your hand falls. The wide swim platform and transom walkthrough make it easy to gear up for a swim or watersports, and there’s plenty of secure storage for fenders, lines, and toys so the cockpit stays uncluttered. Underway, the deep-V hull rewards you with a confident, composed ride, even when afternoon chop tries to spoil the fun. It’s the kind of boat that feels smaller when docking, and much bigger when you’re offshore.

In these waters, conditions can swing from calm morning glass to lumpy afternoon seas, and this 323 is built for that range. The deep-V hull and substantial weight help it track cleanly through harbor wakes and open-water chop, while the twin-engine setup offers both redundancy and precise low-speed maneuvering for tight slips and busy fairways. On fair-weather days, the generous cockpit seating and large swim platform turn it into a floating patio, ideal for sandbar raft-ups or sunset cruises. When weather turns or the evening chill sets in, the enclosed cabin with convertible berth and private head gives you a comfortable retreat without stepping up to a full-size cruiser.
