Selling my 1994 Cobalt 252 as-is. At 25 feet with a Volvo Penta 5.7L 225HP sterndrive, this is a substantial boat from one of the best hull builders in the business. Great bones, low hours, and solid extras — priced to move for the right buyer.
Engine situation — full transparency:
Dewinterized last season and started up fine out of water. When launched, a hose failed and sprayed fluid into the engine compartment. Pulled immediately and has not been professionally inspected since. Possible engine damage — selling as a project for someone mechanically inclined or willing to have it assessed.
The upside: Volvo Penta 5.7L 225HP with only ~440 hours. Parts are widely available, mechanic support is strong, and if it’s repairable you’re working with a low-hour, capable motor.
Hull & Exterior:
Hull is in great shape — no visible damage.
Interior & Upholstery:
Mixed condition — some areas are good, others show wear (see photos). One bow cushion has approximately a 6x6” area of animal damage, unrepaired.
Covers — two sets included:
• Original button canvas cover + bow cover — canvas recently professionally repaired ($450). Bow cover in fair condition with some tape.
• Original mooring cover + bimini top — both in great condition.
Trailer:
Road-ready, good condition — included in the sale.
