2017 Cobia 296 Center Console
Location: Pensacola, FL | Price: $149,000
Overview
This 2017 Cobia 296 Center Console blends performance, versatility, and family comfort into one capable offshore package. Designed for serious anglers but refined enough for weekend cruising, this 296 offers an outstanding ride and premium fit and finish throughout.
Powered by twin Yamaha F300s with roughly 1,000 hours, both engines have been professionally maintained and just completed their full 1,000-hour service by Alex Renn, a respected Yamaha technician. The result is a power package that delivers strong performance, reliability, and quiet efficiency whether you’re running 50 miles offshore or cruising the intracoastal with friends.
At the helm, this Cobia features a top-tier Garmin electronics suite with dual 12-inch Garmin GPSMAP 7612 displays, a Garmin open-array radar, and integrated Minn Kota trolling motor paired with a dedicated 36V lithium battery system — perfect for precise positioning while fishing wrecks or reefs. Add to that a Fusion sound system with multi-zone speakers, and you have a cockpit that’s both high-tech and comfortable for any day on the water.
The deck layout is designed for maximum versatility: twin 28-gallon livewells, macerated fish boxes, Gemlux outriggers, a large leaning post with tackle storage, and an electric bow table that converts to a sun lounge. The hardtop is powder-coated with built-in LED lighting and rocket launchers, offering both style and shade.
This 296 has been lift-kept, shows excellent overall condition, and includes a Continental dual-axle aluminum trailer, making transport and storage simple. Fully serviced, loaded with premium gear, and ready to fish or cruise — this Cobia 296 delivers everything discerning boaters expect from one of the most popular 30-foot center consoles in its class.
