Cobra Performance Goes Big at LA Boat Show PDF Print E-mail

news_cobra[1].jpgCobra Performance Boats rolled out the new 320 Razor at the Los Angeles Boat Show, making it the largest model in the Southern California boatbuilder’s lineup.

  The twin-engine V-bottom is the fourth Razor in the model line, which includes 23-, 26- and 27-footers. The newest model features a full wraparound windshield and will be available in either an open-bow or closed-bow configuration.

“It’s got some good protection with the windshield,” said Jeff Bohn, owner of Cobra Performance Boats.

The boat will be offered with twin 375-horsepower MerCruiser 496 Mag engines at a base price of $169,000. Bohn expects the boat will run 85 mph with the 425-hp MerCruiser versions.

Highlights include a new throttle and shifter from Dana Marine and new bolster seats that were designed and built in-house. Cobra also created a visor over the gauges to reduce glare.

Down in the cabin, the 32-footer had a V-berth that measured 6 feet, 5 inches, and a facing lounges. To port there was a galley with a sink under the cabinet. The model on display at the L.A. Show had a stowage compartment to starboard that was equipped with an air-conditioning unit. Buyers can either install a portable head or use it for stowage.
