VARIS

The Craftsmanship Behind Cobia

Did you know that Cobia hulls are built using our proprietary VARIS construction system? VARIS stands for vacuum assisted resin infusion system. With VARIS we pull the resin through all the laminates, stringers, and transom all at the same time, creating a single fused monolithic structure. The result is the highest strength to weight ratio possible in fiberglass construction, making the boats extremely light and exceptionally strong.
