Cobia – 296 CC

with only 350 hours on her 300 Yamaha’s and very well taken care of

she is a very clean boat

 Introduced in 2012 as Cobia’s flagship model, the 296 Center

Console is a competitively priced fishing platform whose

level deck layout provides secure footing from bow to stern.

Recessed bow rails extend back to the helm area, and the Cobia’s

high freeboard results in an unusually deep and secure cockpit

for a boat this size. Also notable is the roomy step-down head

compartment (with forward entry) of the 296 where an electric

head, two opening ports, sink, and hand-held shower are standard.

Split forward seats are a plus—they make it easy to get around in

the bow area. Both helm seats have drop-down bolsters, and the

dash has space for two big-screen video displays. Fishing features

include two 28-gallon recirculating livewells in the transom, a pair

of big in-deck fish boxes in the cockpit sole, leaning post with

tackle storage, gunnel rod holders (8), and under-gunnel rod

storage. A fold-out transom seat, cockpit coaming pads, trim tabs,

fresh and raw-water washdowns, and pull-up cleats are standard.

The deluxe hardtop (optional) has outriggers, an electronics box,

and three rod holders on each aft leg.
