2007 Cobalt 343

Slip into the helm seat and you’ll notice how solid this 343 feels the moment you throttle up—Cobalt built these hulls deep and heavy enough to slice through afternoon chop without beating up the crew. The wraparound cockpit seating keeps everyone facing the action, while the flip-up bolsters let the driver and co-pilot stand securely when it’s time to run. At rest, the wide swim platform and transom walk-through make it easy to gear up for a quick dip or watersports session. Stainless hardware, thick upholstery, and smart storage throughout remind you this is a performance boat with genuine luxury bones, not just a go-fast with pretty paint.

In the Pacific Northwest, conditions can change from glassy mornings to lumpy, wind-blown afternoons in a single outing, and the 343’s deep-V hull is built for exactly that kind of variety. It has the speed to cover long distances between harbors and anchorages, yet enough freeboard and heft to feel secure when the breeze kicks up. The enclosed cabin and head give you a warm, dry retreat during shoulder seasons, while the open cockpit is ideal for making the most of precious sunny days. Whether you’re blasting across open sounds or cruising between islands, this model blends big-water confidence with day-boat fun.
