2008 Cobalt 252

Slide behind the wheel of this 252 and you’ll feel that classic Cobalt heft right away – a deep, confident hull that stays composed when the afternoon chop stacks up. The helm layout puts everything where your hands naturally fall, with that signature Cobalt sightline over the bow so you’re never guessing what’s ahead. Seating is generous without feeling crowded, with that wide, social cockpit that makes it easy to keep the whole crew in the conversation. Underway, the boat tracks straight and true, responding cleanly to trim so you can fine‑tune the ride whether you’re cruising, exploring, or setting up for a long no‑wake stretch back to the dock.

This 252 is a smart fit for local waters where conditions can shift from glassy in the morning to busy, choppy traffic in the afternoon. The deep‑V hull gives you the confidence to run across open stretches without beating up your passengers, yet it’s still nimble enough to tuck into tighter coves and narrow channels. There’s ample freeboard for peace of mind when the breeze kicks up, and the roomy bow and cockpit seating make it ideal for sandbar raft‑ups or anchoring off the beach. It’s the kind of boat that handles the mixed demands of this area in one refined, comfortable package.
