    I posted this in another group and got a small amount of resistance.
    I am 98% sure the Bloodline boat is a Cobalt Condurre. I’ve studied every detail and it all matches, including the two small badges toward the stern... obviously Bloodline isn’t going to use brand names on their cover boat.

    What do you think? Is this a Cobalt?

    I think you are correct. Looks like a Cobalt to me. Watched all 3 seasons of that show. Started well but got a bit weird towards the end.

    I agree with both of you -- yes, I would say for 100% certainty that it's a Cobalt.

    And I also agree, the first season of Bloodline was awesome -- I was riveted. The 2nd was weird, the 3rd season was better but ended abruptly.

    The show was intended to go for many more seasons but during the filming of season 2, the Florida Keys ended the perks to the film companies so Sony decided it wouldn't be profitable to film on location. They quickly re-wrote the script and filmed season 3 before the perks ended. Bummer.

    I agree with your opinion of the show... I always wondered what happened. I could tell the scriptwriters straight up walked away from if... I always thought had Danny lived into season 2 it would have been better.

    Lets hope the boat was just a shell with non-repairable damage. I would hate to see a classic like that destroyed for a TV show when a Bayliner would have worked as well.

    My guess is that it is only a rendering for the cover. I don’t recall the boat that burned up looking like this one.
