The Cobia Boat Company reported record sales and consumer interest at this year’s Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show. The show, which ended in late October, delivered a triple-digit percent sales increase over previous years.
The increase was buoyed by the introduction of five new models at the show. Two new models in particular â the 256 CC and 256 Express â contributed significantly to the company’s strong sales this year. Cobia also introduced the new 206 CC, 216 CC and 236 CC.
“In the last year we have upgraded or redesigned the entire Cobia Boat line and the difference was really apparent to consumers and industry insiders at the show,” said Scott Deal, president and CEO of Cobia Boat Company. “Our new 256 Express was a big hit because it offers world class features and quality in an affordable package. Even more exciting is that the new product train is just leaving the station. We have a new 296 CC in process that will be premiered at the Miami show and are already working on more models for next year.”
Deal believes the new models will help to carry the momentum into the winter boat shows and is very optimistic about the 2008 model year.
