The Cobia 320CC is made to offer all these benefits in one well-designed boat. From its hull construction to its electronics and storage options, every detail is planned to give you a comfortable day on the water. In this article, we will go deep into the Cobia Boats 320CC, giving you a complete look at its features, layout, handling, comfort, and more, so you can decide if it fits your boating needs.
Overall Build, Construction, and Materials
When reviewing the Cobia 320CC, many buyers want to know how the boat is made and what materials are used. The Cobia 320CC is constructed using all-composite, fiberglass technology. This means the hull and deck will not suffer from wood rot and offer a solid, reliable foundation for years. The stringer system is filled with closed-cell foam, delivering solid strength to the hull and helping deaden noise on deck. Stainless steel fasteners, cleats, and hinges are used throughout the boat to prevent rust and stand up to saltwater. The gel coat finish is expertly applied and polished, so it looks good and also provides a layer of protection against scrapes, sun, and the marine environment. The build plan features a step hull design, allowing the boat to ride efficiently, reduce drag, and improve handling at various speeds. Deck scuppers and drains are placed throughout, quickly channeling water off the deck for added safety and cleanliness.
Hull Dimensions and Specifications
The Cobia 320CC’s hull is 32 feet 6 inches in length—offering lots of deck area for both fishing and relaxing with guests. With a beam of 10 feet 3 inches, the boat feels stable at rest and while underway, minimizing rolling even when there are waves. The draft—measured with only the hull, not the engines down—is 22 inches, allowing the boat to operate in shallow waters and near shorelines, while still being capable offshore. The hull weight is substantial, which helps provide a smoother ride and better weight distribution when carrying more passengers or gear.
- Length overall: 32 feet 6 inches
- Beam: 10 feet 3 inches
- Hull draft: 22 inches
- Hull design: Stepped for efficiency and stability
Engine Power, Fuel Capacity, and Efficiency
The Cobia 320CC comes ready for twin Yamaha outboard engines, with power options up to a combined 700 horsepower. This range allows boaters to select the power that best matches their style—whether cruising with family, running at higher speeds, or heading offshore for fishing. Outboards deliver reliability and easier servicing, with digital controls making throttle and shift easy and precise. Fuel efficiency is improved by the stepped hull, which lifts part of the hull out of the water at speed, reducing drag and fuel use. The fuel tank can hold up to 275 gallons, giving the freedom for long-range trips without frequent stops to refuel. The boat also includes a 33-gallon freshwater tank for rinse-downs, showers, or deck wash.

Value of a Center Console Layout
Why choose a center console like the 320CC over other types? The answer is versatility and safety. With the helm in the center, you have clear lines of sight in all directions and easy access from bow to stern. This is important when you’re fishing, loading, or managing a group of people. The layout means less pitching and rolling in swells, and the deck is level with no high steps or obstacles.
All main controls are grouped at the console, and seating can be used or hidden away quickly. There’s plenty of shade from the hardtop without losing the open-air feel. For many boaters, a center console is the best way to get the most out of every day on the water.
- Visibility: Captain sees all directions
- Safety: Easy movement, few obstacles on deck
- Control: Helm grouped for easy use
- Flexibility: Hide seats, open space, full walkaround
