Taking Fishing a Step Further

The all-new 285 Open is designed for both the avid family angler and the dedicated tournament-driven angler. With an increased focus on the open space layout for full walk-up access to the bow and stern, the 285 Open takes fishing features even a step further by adding two additional cockpit insulated fish boxes with macerated overboard drains, standard kite rod holders and an optional deep drop set-up that includes reinforced gunnel boards and electric reel outlets.

Additional upgrades include a Garmin Force Kraken trolling motor and enhanced JL Audio sound system packages with 10” subwoofers and up to 10 speakers that are strategically positioned to optimize the sound no matter where you are sitting, standing or fishing from on the boat.

VARIS VACUUM INFUSION

Cobia hulls are built using our proprietary VARIS™ (Vacuum Assisted Resin Infusion System), a process that infuses resin through the hull, stringers, and transom simultaneously. The result is a single, unified structure with exceptional strength and precision. This advanced construction delivers an industry-leading strength-to-weight ratio, creating a ride that’s lighter, stronger, and built to perform.
