Cobalt connects with dealers to celebrate a successful year and introduce the new R4 Series

Cobalt Boats resumed its series of popular dealer network annual celebrations this year with a three-day event at the Horseshoe Bay Resort in Horseshoe Bay, TX. In addition to recognizing dealer accomplishments, the meeting also provided a showcase for attendees to test-drive boats and preview all three variants of Cobalt’s new 2022 R4 Series – Stern Drive, Surf and Outboard – at the property’s Yacht Club Day Docks.

Highlights of the dealer schedule included the general business meeting with this year’s theme, “Experience Extraordinary”, featuring state-of-the-industry and state-of-Cobalt reviews, a sales update, and a product development report. The meeting’s grand finale was a cocktail reception and awards banquet honoring these Cobalt dealers with the highest combined Net Promoter Score (NPS) and sales volume:
