Don't bother with Cobalt, they make great boats, but Cobalt does not make anything remotely like a Sea Ray 240 Sundancer. Look for brands like Larson, Crownline, Regal, Chaparral, Monterey, Bayliner, Glastron, Stingray, Ebbtide, Wellcraft etc. They have all made pocket cruisers in your size range.
If I were looking, I'd want at least a 5.7 liter engine and a dual prop drive in a 24-25 footer, anything bigger, I'd want twin 4.3s or bigger (with single or dual prop drives) or a single big block (7.4, 8.1, or 8.2 liter) with a dual prop drive.
Condition is far more important than brand or age, so be a careful shopper and don't get hung up on brand names.
Good luck.
