Cobalt 263
 
I would know if the 263 has a toilet inside...and what do you think about this model?
Here is the boat that I'm considering :

Where is the boat? It is a clean one from the pics (pics can not show the whole story) but a good start, i had several customers that loved there 263s good solid all around boat make sure the head is pumped out. it is located under the step into the cabin and if not pumped out regularly can leak and stain the carpet in the cabin ( it pulls out like a drawer) . also the cabin door drains need to be kept clean or can leak in to the cabin. nice all around day cruiser

The boat is located in the Adriatic Sea, in Italy. The owner says that it has less than 200 hours, it's from 2004, and the price requested is around 66k dollars (converted from euro). It's pretty hard to find Colbalt in Italy...actually it's the only 263 that I found on sale in Italy!
How many passengers can I carry on it? I guess around 6....
I don't really understand where's the head that I have to check....I have to pull out the step and under it I will found the head that has to be clear and without water..right?

here are a few pics that will help you with the head location, Pass about 6 without sitting on each other, The boat itself is a good all around day cruiser not a rough water boat (ride wise) but will handle rough stuff ok. had plenty of customers use them in the ocean,

Great boats
 
I have a 282 Cobalt, that one looks clean. I have nothing but good things to say about fit and finish.

What about top speed with a 320hp Volvo Penta?

It's not going to run in the 58ish, sadly. Expect around 52-55..

The boat you're looking at looks nice and clean :) but the antifouling and tower will shave off 1 or 2 mph at the topend.

Propped with a set of F5s or F6s and salt water 55-58 is a real figure we sold a lot of 262s and 263s that ran that speed no problem in a light chop on salt water on GPS. depending on the type of bottom paint may be a variable ablative vs non ablative.
