Purchased cobalt 343, any owners out there??
 
Hello, just thought I'd see if there are any cobalt 343 owners on this forum. I know the 343 isn't a typical "offshore" but it sort of fits the bill.

I sold my Baja 275 and bought the 2006 cobalt 343 and I already can't believe the difference in quality. The fit and finish and attention to detail is incredible. The boat also feels very solid. The only drawback I am finding is these boats are not common so getting support is not easy. I had my amp go bad and finding it was not easy. I ultimately ended up finding it in the bow compartment behind a panel. I also had some bad luck with an idle air control valve going bad but I think that is very common on the 496 HO.

Another interesting thing about these boats is the huge range in price people are asking for them. I picked mine up for $82k USD (everything mint, marine survey done, everything works, 240 hours) but I am seeing them go as high as $225.

If there are other owners please chime in! I'd love to get a support network going for advice, parts, etc...….

A friend of mine at LOTO has had one for about 5 years and really likes it.

Beautiful!

Cobalt builds a hell of a boat.
Have not seen that model before.

More pixs please.

Love it.

I really like the walk through sun lounge.

Nice! The wrap around helm station is neat. Great looking boat!
