Found this and kinda interested in it. I am not sure if the year is correct or even the namebrand. I think I have seen a restored on on iboats but have yet to find it. Does anyone have any info on it? I think it would make for a good boat. It looks to have a little more cabin space than newer cuddy cabins of its size.

it is what i call an open cuddy, no partition. they were built in the Orlando area when it was built (Sanford) i've had several cobia's over the years. it is a heavy well built boat, takes rough water very well. make sure it is not holding water in the foam under the floor, as it is 38 y/o. the 115 in good health will push it nicely.

Thats a nice cuddy. Lots of deck space and probably about 50 inches or so of headroom in the cuddy. A great boat if you have family because there is a place to get out of the wind and sun or just to hide if weather turns bad.

Too bad the windshield is broken. A replacement can be made yourself for about $100 in plastic.

Even if the motor is in good condition, I think $950 is a bit much for a boat with a bad paint job and broken windshield. Plus the condition of deck and transom are unknown at this time.

If you can check it out in person, and still want it, offer $600 or so.

That's a Cobia SeaQueen. It has two bunks in the cabin and built without foam under the floor. Rated for 110 hp max.
