Boat hunting. MCOB HELP!!
I am getting discouraged, i search for hours every night looking for a new vessel. I find hope on marine guide. And I get no reply’s. And they only show 2-3 photos. Is there a better website to search for boats?
im looking for a mid cuddy open bow. I like the ebbtide and Mariah’s how you can be closed in. Does anyone know if they anyone made a boat similar with twin engines? And able to be closed in and a little more camp friendly for lake Powell? I appreciate the help thank you

Sunsation made 28 and 32 MCOBs, the 28 was a single, the 32 was twins. Both had a snap in cover that could enclose/weather proof the bow.
Formuila has several OB models.
Some west coast builders did MCOBs also.

Lots of MCOB's at Lake of the Ozarks. Call Ed at Big Thunder or Brett at Performance Boat Center. Many times they have pocket listings that are not on the open market. As a bonus, pick it up the week of the Shootout!!!

Donzi 28 ZXO. They built a ton but they are hard to find because people tend to keep them. Available in twin small blocks (most of them) or single big block. Great boats. A LOT beefier than sunsation or probably all the other brands. Kevlar main stringers, etc.
Sunsation for me is #2
The rest... well, tend to be a mid cabin shade section that is open vs a real cabin

2004 Howard 28 Bullet MCOB. Newer crate engine. The boat was in Havasu until 2017 when Maxed Out Marine brokered it. Not a camping boat of course, but lockable mid-cabin.

Look at the Advantage lineup. I have owned a 27' and 28' Advantage MCOB and wouldn't hesitate to own another. They are also still in business and building them new where alot of the other brands are not.

If you are looking at new we can do a MCOB in the Powerquest 280 or 300 hull. Both would give you a nice size cuddy that would be closed in with a real door on either side as you were looking for. IO or OB power options available, custom paint, etc
