apache is a offshore boat not a lake boat.

Thumbs up Re: Beware of Cobalt, I can't believe I'm admitting this!

Beware:
There will be a few Cobalts running around this season with our new Raylar 496HOR motors in them. Ever heard the word "sleeper" Could be a issue!

The Cobalt 343 with Mercury's new 502HO at 430HP at the crankshaft is not going to push this boat anywhere near 80mph!! It would take probably a minimum of 600HP per side to get near those speeds.

Best Regards,
