2016 Cobia 237 Center Console

What stands out on this 237 is how thoughtfully the cockpit is laid out for both anglers and crew. The transom bench folds away quickly when you’re setting lines, and the deep, secure freeboard keeps everyone feeling planted when it gets choppy. Forward, the wraparound bow seating with removable cushions makes it easy to switch from casting deck to lounging space. The console is large enough to hide a real head, not just a token compartment, which is a huge plus for longer days. Wide walkaround space lets you work a fish from bow to stern without gymnastics, and the hardware throughout feels solid and confidence‑inspiring.

This 23-foot Cobia hits a sweet spot for waters where conditions can swing from calm mornings to afternoon chop. The moderate deadrise and beamy footprint help it track smoothly through short, confused seas, yet it’s still small enough to nose into skinny water and tight slips. With twin outboards, you get reassuring redundancy for runs across open stretches and the maneuverability to slide into crowded marinas. High bow flare and generous freeboard keep spray down and the family dry, while the open layout adapts easily from trolling and bottom fishing to sandbar rafting and sunset cruises in protected bays and sounds.
