Cobra Boats is being sold

[niceguyeddie]

I heard that Cobra is getting sold for $720,000. Anyone else hear of anything? I wish whoever the news owners are the best.

[GRADS2112]

I would think at this point and time they are essentially just buying the molds as I have not seen Cobra turn out a new boat in a few years.

[ChumpChange]

Interesting. Give me a few hours.

[Slacker]

If this in fact is true, I sure hope someone brings them back to life. They sure are Very Nice Quality Boats!!

[John]

tell the truth...did you buy the molds and are you planning to bring Cobra back? Lets start the rumor mill today. ;-)

[niceguyeddie]

I know someone involved in the transaction. It's not just the molds, it's the entire business.

[GRADS2112]

It's not just the molds, it's the entire business.
So basically just the molds. ;)

[niceguyeddie]

They have a store, employees, service shop and current lease.

What's the deal with this? Is Cobra boats for sale or not?

I hear rumors that another site owner called Hernando and Hernando said it wasn't for sale. However if it's not for sale, why would it be listed for sale on a commercial real estate multiple listing service.

That other site owner could be full of shit.

Yes he is. Read carefully as it's all in the semantics. Some people hate being the second to have the goods, especially when self touted to be the source, so when they are in last place on information, they state it a different way to make it look like they have the actual breaking news.

Nice job on breaking the story!

[Slacker]

Yeah,,,,, Then that other Commie site deleted the whole thread.

Thanks lol!

Yea tell me about it. I awoke this am to some really "friendly" pms regarding this issue. God forbid I actually post something boating related on a boating website. If the information I posted is bullshit, then how about Hernando come tell me for himself.

Boy, It was fun back in the day but I am just fucking sick of the drama!!!!

[WMC]

This is a drama free site. Got pm from this site or other?

These threads usually go sideways.

Just like this one is.

Please understand, there are people on here who own Cobras. If I were an owner I wouldn't want someone starting a negative thread about my boat. Maybe it wasn't intended to be negative or maybe the follow up posts turned it negative. Either way I'm not sure any good could come from it.

So please keep it factual or keep it positive. Fair enough?

It wasn't intended to be negative. In fact, I wished them success!

I was wondering if anyone one else had any more information as to the buyer. I was curious if it was another mgf, past mfg or?

The half dozen pm's I've received on various sites are going to be left private.

As far as keeping is factual:

I posted a copy of the advertisement from the Multiple Listing Service.

As far as keeping it positive:

I wished the new owners good luck.



Sorry if some owners get bent out of shape over a thread. I own an Ultra and over the years I have watched JW take more abuse than any other mfg over the infused hulls and the WCF boat. JW handled his own and I'm sure Cobra can do the same if the info I posted was incorrect.

Actually I believe that the Cobras are the Top of the Line in custom boats. But they are the ones that did put the listing out there for everyone to see and it was just being reported as it was listed. I didn't see anything negative about what the thread as intended. I would never would like to see Cobra being listed since they do make one Hell of a Boat!!! The facts are that Cobra did put the listing out there, fact that one boating site deleted the thread pertaining Cobra was up for sale, fact that another boating site stated that they had talked to Cobra and it wasn't for sale. Thats about it,,,,,,,,,,Good Luck to Cobra they are an elite in the custom boats!
