In the world of boating, quality and performance are paramount. It's with that in consideration that I bring you the 2024 Cobia Boat Center Console Series 280 CC, an exceptional fiberglass fish boat for fishing enthusiasts and pleasure cruisers alike. Let's delve into what makes this a worthwhile investment for any seafaring adventurer.
The series features high-quality standards in construction you would expect from Cobia Boats. The hull is solidly constructed, assured to withstand harsh maritime conditions. It also features Yamaha fuel/water separator and control cables (with engine option) and waterproof Deutsch electrical connectors, which adds to its durability and marine-ready structure.
The helm seat tackle station with premium upgraded seating, and a white cushion color, offers comfort and convenience. This is coupled with an electric head with macerator and a port window - an excellent feature!
The forward table/sun lounge can be electronically adjusted (flushing into floor), providing extra space for relaxation and entertaining. Additionally, the boat comes with boarding ladder, fresh water at the transom, fresh water sink in the console, a fully recessed bow table and other head comfort appointments including a towel bar, toilet paper holder, and a mirror.
The boat also has a 62qt insulated cooler in the console and opening port window(s). These features not only add to the boat's practicality but speak volumes of Cobia's commitment to the comfort of the boat user.
Primarily a fishing boat, it boasts cockpit insulated fish boxes with macerated overboard drains (2, 47 gal), stainless steel gunnel rod holders, and under-gunnel rod storage. The 2024 Cobia boat is not only self-bailing, but also comes installed with five heavy-duty, pull-up cleats and stainless steel thru-hulls- an angler's dream!
The white helm seat tackle station trim color and black rub rail with stainless steel insert give the vessel a chic modern aesthetic that will appeal to BOAT enthusiasts.
The cockpit lights, compass, and helm footrest reflect well-thought design aimed at ensuring your experience aboard the boat is pleasurable, even when the sun goes down.
With a length overall (LOA) of 27' 7", a beam of 9'8" and draft of 22", the boat is big enough to offer ample space without being bulky. Its fuel capacity stands at 189 gallons, with a deadrise of 21 degrees. Weighing approximately 6610 lbs without engine, it can house a maximum of 600hp, making it a strong and durable option for anyone seeking a solid fishing boat.
The recommended retail price for the 2024 Cobia Boat Center Console Series 280 CC is $174,761 but can be negotiated down to the invoice price of $122,333.
In conclusion, the 2024 Cobia boat is an excellent investment for any enthusiastic fishermen or pleasure cruisers. The boat offers value far beyond what you pay for. Its bevy of features, immaculate design, performance, and construction emphasize Cobia Boats dedication in delivering an impeccable sea-bearing vessel. With its size, power, and design, it is indeed a dream on the water.

When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
