Well-Maintained 2005 Cobalt 200 Bowrider — Low Hours, Lift-Stored on Beaver Lake
Here is a rare opportunity to own a clean, well-cared-for Cobalt 200 bowrider with only 398 total engine hours and just 20 hours added by the current owner. The seller purchased this boat from the original owner and immediately had a local marine mechanic perform a thorough inspection and service of the motor and lower unit — maintenance records are on hand for full transparency.
Interior presentation is above average, with carpet and vinyl showing no rips or tears. The boat has been stored on a lift on Beaver Lake, keeping the hull out of the water and protecting it from the wear that comes with prolonged submersion. A custom Sunbrella cover secured to the rubrail provides additional protection when not in use.
Power comes from a Volvo Penta 5.0 GXi inboard producing 270 HP — a proven, torque-rich powerplant well-suited to a 20-foot bowrider. The sale includes three propellers: the original Volvo 21-inch pitch 3-blade, plus two Solas 4-blade props in 15- and 17-inch pitch, giving the next owner flexibility to tune performance to their preference. A new trailer ($6,500 value, with $4,000 reflected in the asking price) is included.
KEY FEATURES:
- Lift-stored on Beaver Lake — Keeping a boat on a lift rather than in the water dramatically reduces hull fouling, osmotic blistering risk, and wear on through-hulls and fittings. This is one of the best indicators of a well-preserved hull you'll find in a used listing.
-
- Upgraded Kicker stereo system with 6 speakers, subwoofer, and 8-channel amp — A full aftermarket audio upgrade like this adds real on-water entertainment value. Kicker is a well-regarded marine audio brand known for clean output and durability in the marine environment.
-
- Three propellers included (original Volvo 21" 3-blade + two Solas 4-blade props) — Having multiple props is a practical advantage: 4-blade propellers generally offer better hole shot and smoother ride at cruising speeds, while the original 3-blade is ideal for top-end performance. Buyers rarely get this kind of flexibility included at no extra cost.
