Let's understand from the beginning that the Cobalt Water Sports Series boats have been built for wide-open, all-out adrenaline at the end of a rope.

Now, at the completion of three years of research and development, the Cobalt Water Sports Series (WSS) stands fully prepared for you endorphin-hogging high-flyers and your demands for large, predictable wakes. The final refinements on the 232, 242, and 262 WSS boats focus on a ballast system that gives captain and boarder complete flexibility in the choice of wake, three tanks moving up to 700 pounds of ballast water in and out, selectively, each independent of the other two. No all-or-nothing deals here.

Meanwhile, the new Touch Tech system stores profiles of individual skiers and boarders, remembers their preferences for the ride out back. Then, cruise control, ballast, and trim tab adjust to deliver the exact speed and sort of wake that matches those preferences. A simple tap at Touch Tech makes it all happen. An upgradeable GPS is now available, its touch-screen right there to show the way.

These new features complement the WSS boats' intrinsic advantage in combining all the best features of an inboard with the versatility and efficiency of a stern drive.
