R5

Equal parts aggressive and agile, the R5 is a mid-sized runabout that delivers a ride unlike any other. And while the R5 still offers the luxury and performance you expect from a Cobalt, its sleek profile is what really turns heads. With a walk-thru transom, swim platform and sun pad seamlessly integrated into the R5’s cohesive design, the result is a boat that strikes the perfect balance between form and function.
