Guess there's 2 thought processes when entering a new (to you) market...go with the standard and keep costs down or try the gimmick sell. Looks like they went with the latter

Re: Cobalt boats now makes pontoons
Fiberglass boats are generally more expensive to build than your standard pontoon boat. Personally I can't follow the thought process of building a glass upper over aluminum tubes. You've now added expense that is not needed, at the same time you've excluded many salt water boaters that simply don't want the extra effort of aluminum. Seems a glass cat or tri style hull would serve that boat better, although I still don't believe it would turn it in to a seller.

For that money I think I would buy a really nice toon and a nice ski boat to go with.

120k? that's insane and like many others, that boat need some design changes in my book, seats look very uncomfortable and un-toon-like.
